Abstract: In previous work, the authors confirmed the speculation of J. G. Thompson that certain multiquadratic fields are generated by specified character values of sufficiently large alternating groups $A_n$. Here we address the natural generalization of this speculation to the finite general linear groups $mathrm{GL}_{m}left(mathbb{F}_{q}ight)$ and $mathrm{SL}_{2}left(mathbb{F}_{q}ight)$.
