    As the authors point out at the beginning, quaternion extensions are popular as test objects in Galois module structure and elsewhere (it suffices to mention early work of \textit{J. Martinet} [Ann. Sci. Éc. Norm. Supér. (4) 4, 399--408 (1971; Zbl 0219.12012)] and \textit{A. Fröhlich} [Invent. Math. 17, 143--166 (1972; Zbl 0261.12008)] on rings of integers in such extensions, and the ``Quaternionic Exercises'' of \textit{T. Chinburg} et al. [Fields Inst. Commun. 16, 1--29 (1997; Zbl 0886.11063), Algebraic \(K\)-theory and its applications. Proceedings of the workshop and symposium, ICTP, Trieste, Italy, September 1--19, 1997. Singapore: World Scientific. 337--369 (1999; Zbl 0983.11068)]. In the present paper, the authors completely describe the possible ramification patterns which occur for totally (wildly) ramified quaternion extensions \(N\) of dyadic fields \(K\) which contain a fourth root of unity. Good use is made of a recent innovation due to the first author, the so-called refined ramification filtration. This is useful if the biquadratic extension \(M/K\) inside \(N\) is too homogeneous, that is, all three quadratic subfields have the same break number. The methods are very explicit, and rather technical. The extension \(N/M\) is obtained by adjoining a square root of an element of \(M\) which is subject to many constraints. Its ``defect'' (loosely speaking, its 2-adic distance to 1) determines the break number of \(N/M\); of course the possible values here depend on the break numbers (classical or refined) of \(M/K\). It is not feasible to precisely describe the results in a review. Suffice it to say that they are complete, well explained, and that they allow to describe with precision just when the Hasse-Arf theorem (integrality of break numbers in the upper numbering) fails for \(N/K\); as the authors explain, this is a rare event. It might be interesting to look at this phenomenon for Galois groups which are (with apologies for the expression) ``even less commutative'' than the quaternion group.
