Abstract: Let $B$ be a central simple algebra of degree $n$ over a number field $K$, and $LsubsetB$ a strictly maximal subfield. We say that the ring of integers $mathcal{O}_L$ is "selective" if there exists an isomorphism class of maximal orders in $B$ no element of which contains $mathcal{O}_L$. Many authors have worked to characterize the degree to which selectivity occurs, first in quaternion algebras, and more recently in higher-rank algebras. In the present work, we consider a local variant of the selectivity problem and applications. We first prove a theorem characterizing which maximal orders in a local central simple algebra contain the global ring of integers $mathcal{O}_L$ by leveraging the theory of affine buildings for $S{L}_r(D)$ where $D$ is a local central division algebra. Then as an application, we use the local result and a local-global principle to show how to compute a set of representatives of the isomorphism classes of maximal orders in $B$, and distinguish those which are guaranteed to contain $mathcal{O}_L$. Having such a set of representatives allows both algebraic and geometric applications. As an algebraic application, we recover a global selectivity result mentioned above, and give examples which clarify the interesting role of partial ramification in the algebra.
