Aug 12, 2011 at 7:50 comment added Louis Excuse me M. Hansen but i don't quite understand. Does the central simple algebra you get with this process satisfy the assumption 1 of the question? If i understand well then, it suffice to look over the field k(x_1,..,x_6), to take D_1 as a square root of the quaternion (x_1,x_2), D_2 the quaternion algebra (x_3,x_4), and D_3 the quaternion algebra (x_5,x_6) ?
Aug 11, 2011 at 22:45 comment added David Hansen If $D$ is a quaternion algebra, then its local Hasse invariant is $1/2$ at a finite even number of places and zero elsewhere, so you can get a square root of the Brauer class by changing the nonzero invts to $1/4$ at half the places and $3/4$ at the other half.

Aug 11, 2011 at 14:01 comment added Louis exactly, i also correct this. Thank you.
Aug 11, 2011 at 13:59 comment added André Henriques Could you explain what you mean by $D_1^2D_2$? Are you taking the tensor product of $D_1$, $D_1$, and $D_2$?

Aug 11, 2011 at 13:50 comment added Louis oh my god sorry, i meant D_2 but wrote D_4... I corrected the typo, thank you.
Aug 11, 2011 at 8:41 comment added S. Carnahan There aren't any conditions on $D_2$, and $D_4$ seems to appear out of nowhere.
