Nilpotent Maximal Subgroup

Let D be a division ring and N be a subnormal subgroup of D*. In this paper we prove that if M is a nilpotent maximal subgroup of N, then M′ is abelian. If, furthermore every element of M is algebraic over Z(D) and M′ ⊈ F* or M/Z(M) or M′ is finitely generated, then M is abelian. The second main result of this paper concerns the subgroups of matrix groups; assume D is a noncommutative division ring, n is a natural number, N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D), and M is a maximal subgroup of N. We show that if M is locally finite over Z(D)*, then M is either absolutely irreducible or abelian.

Free Subgroups

The study of the existence of free groups in skew linear groups have begun since the last decades of the 20th century. The starting point is the theorem of Tits (1972), now often referred to as Tits’ Alternative, stating that every finitely generated subgroup of the general linear group [Formula: see text] over a field [Formula: see text] either contains a non-cyclic free subgroup or it is solvable-by-finite. In this paper, we study the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups in maximal subgroups of an almost subnormal subgroup of the general skew linear group over a locally finite division ring.

Group Identities

Let D be a division ring with centre F. Assume that M is a maximal subgroup of GLn(D) (n≥1) such that Z(M) is algebraic over F. Group identities on M and polynomial identities on the F-linear hull F[M] are investigated. It is shown that if F[M] is a PI-algebra, then [D:F]<∞. When D is non-commutative and F is infinite, it is also proved that if M satisfies a group identity and F[M] is algebraic over F, then we have either M=K* where K is a field and [D:F]<∞, or M is absolutely irreducible. For a finite dimensional division algebra D, assume that N is a subnormal subgroup of GLn(D) and M is a maximal subgroup of N. If M satisfies a group identity, it is shown that M is abelian-by-finite.

Kaplansky's conjecture claims that the Jacobson radical [Formula: see text] of a group algebra K[G], where K is a field of characteristic p > 0, coincides with its augmentation ideal [Formula: see text] if and only if G is a locally finite p-group. By a theorem of Passman, if G is finitely generated and [Formula: see text] then any maximal subgroup of G is normal of index p. In the present paper, we consider one infinite series of finitely generated infinite p-groups (hence not locally finite p-groups), so called GGS-groups. We prove that their maximal subgroups are nonetheless normal of index p. Thus these groups remain among potential counterexamples to Kaplansky's conjecture.

Given a non-commutative finite-dimensional [Formula: see text]-central division ring [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] a subnormal subgroup of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] a non-abelian maximal subgroup of [Formula: see text], then either [Formula: see text] contains a non-cyclic free subgroup or there exists a non-central maximal normal abelian subgroup [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] is a subfield of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] is Galois and [Formula: see text], also [Formula: see text] is a finite simple group with [Formula: see text].

Finitary Automorphism

The notion of a group of finitary automorphisms of an arbitrary module over an arbitrary ring is introduced, and it is shown how properties of such groups can be derived from the case where the ring is a division ring (that is, from the properties of finitary skew linear groups). The results are particularly strong if either the group is locally finite or the module is Noetherian.

Finite Dimensional Case

Let V be a left vector space over the arbitrary division ring D and G a locally nilpotent group of finitary automorphisms of V (automorphisms g of V such that dimDV(g-1)<∞) such that V is irreducible as D-G bimodule. If V is infinite dimensional we show that such groups are very rare, much rarer than in the finite-dimensional case. For example we show that if dimDV is infinite then dimDV = |G| = ℵ0 and G is a locally finite q-group for some prime q ≠ char D. Moreover G is isomorphic to a finitary linear group over a field. Examples show that infinite-dimensional such groups G do exist. Note also that there exist examples of finite-dimensional such groups G that are not isomorphic to any finitary linear group over a field. Generally the finite-dimensional examples are more varied.

Let D be a division ring with central subfield F, n a positive integer and G a subgroup of GL(n, D) such that the F-subalgebra F[G] generated by G is the full matrix algebra Dn×n. If G is soluble then Snider [9] proves that G is abelian by locally finite. He also shows that this locally finite image of G can be any locally finite group. Of course not every abelian by locally finite group is soluble. This suggests that Snider's conclusion should apply to some wider class of groups.
