Algebraic numbers; rings of algebraic integers (11R04) Algebraic field extensions (12F05) Sums of squares and representations by other particular quadratic forms (11E25) Fields related with sums of squares (formally real fields, Pythagorean fields, etc.) (12D15) Inseparable field extensions (12F15)

Abstract: We prove for a large class of fields $F$ that every proper finite extension of $F_{pyth}$, the pythagorean closure of $F$, is not a pythagorean field. This class of fields contains number fields and fields $F$ that are finitely generated of transcendence degree at least one over some subfield of $F$.
