Submission: 2017, Oct 10

Let E be a field which is the center of a quaternion division algebra and which is not real euclidean. Then there exists a biquaternion division alge- bra over the rational function field E(t) which does not contain any quaternion algebra defined over E. The proof is based on the study of Bezoutian forms developped in Becher-Raczek, `Ramification sequences and Bezoutian forms' (LAG-preprint 568).
