QUARTICEXERCISES MAX-ALBERT KNUSandJEAN-PIERRE TIGNOL Received 5March 2002 Acorrespondence between quartic étale algebras over a?eld and quadratic étale extensions of cubic étale algebras is set up and investigated. The basic construc- tions arelaid outingeneral forsets with apro?nite group action and fortorsors, and translated in terms of étale algebras and Galois algebras. A parametrization ofcyclic quartic algebras isgiven. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classi?cation: 12F10, 12G05, 13B40. 1. Introduction. It is known since the sixteenth century that the solution of quartic equations can
