Abstract
Given a field K, one may ask which finite groups are Galois groups of field extensions L/K such that L is a maximal subfield of a division algebra with center K. This connection between inverse Galois theory and division algebras was first explored by Schacher in the 1960s. In this manuscript we consider this problem when K is a global field. For the case when L/K is assumed to be tamely ramified, we give a complete classification of number fields for which every solvable Sylow-metacyclic group is admissible, extending J. Sonn’s result for K = Q. For the case when L/K is allowed to be wildly ramified, we give a characterization of admissible groups over several classes of number fields, and partial results in other cases. We also briefly discuss the case of global function fields.
