Let P be a field of characteristic different from 2, let K be an associative commutative P-algebra with an identity 1 and let n be an integer, n ≥ 2. Assume that K is an algebraic extension of P having, in general, zero divisors and P is an algebraic separable extension of an infinite subfield k. The paper studies subgroups X of the group GLn (K) such that X contains a root k-subgroup, i.e. a subgroup which is conjugate in GLn (K) to a group of all matrices [Formula: see text], a ∈ k.

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.

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.

Open Question

A famous theorem of Kegel and Wielandt states that every finite group which is the product of two nilpotent subgroups is soluble (see [1], Theorem 2.4.3). On the other hand, it is an open question whether an arbitrary group factorized by two nilpotent subgroups satisfies some solubility condition, and only a few partial results are known on this subject. In particular, Kegel [6] obtained an affirmative answer in the case of linear groups, and in the same article he also proved that every locally finite group which is the product of two locally nilpotent FC-subgroups is locally soluble. Recall that a group G is said to be an FC-group if every element of G has only finitely many conjugates. Moreover, Kazarin [5] showed that if the locally finite group G = AB is factorized by an abelian subgroup A and a locally nilpotent subgroup B, then G is locally soluble. The aim of this article is to prove the following extension of the Kegel–Wielandt theorem to locally finite products of hypercentral groups.

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.

AbstractIf X is a group-class, a group G is right X-Engel if for all g in G there exists an X-subgroup E of G such that for all x in G there is a positive integer m(x) with [g, nx] ∈ E for all n ≥ m(x). Let G be a linear group. Special cases of our main theorem are the following. If X is the class of all Chernikov groups, or all finite groups, or all locally finite groups, then G is right X-Engel if and only if G has a normal X-subgroup modulo which G is hypercentral. The same conclusion holds if G has positive characteristic and X is one of the following classes; all polycyclic-by-finite groups, all groups of finite Prüfer rank, all minimax groups, all groups with finite Hirsch number, all soluble-by-finite groups with finite abelian total rank. In general the characteristic zero case is more complex.

Finite Image

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.

Dense Subgroups

A subgroup of any group is called conjugately dense if it has nonempty intersection with each class of conjugate elements of the group. The aim of this paper is to prove the following. Let K be a locally finite field and H be an irreducible conjugately dense subgroup of the intermediate group SL 3(K) ≤ G ≤ GL 3(K); then H = G. This result confirms part of P. Neumann's conjecture from problem 6.38 in "Kourovka Notebook" for the group GL 3(K) over locally finite field K.
