摘要

We prove that the Pythagoras number of the ring of integers of the compositum of all real quadratic fields is infinite. The same holds for certain infinite totally real cyclotomic fields. In contrast, we construct infinite degree totally real algebraic fields whose rings of integers have finite Pythagoras numbers, namely, one, two, three, and at least four.
