Free subgroups in almost subnormal subgroups of general skew linear groups

N Ngoc, M Bien, B Hai - St. Petersburg Mathematical Journal, 2017 - ams.org
Let $ D $ be a weakly locally finite division ring and $ n $ a positive integer. The problem
under study concerns the existence of noncyclic free subgroups in noncentral almost …

Free subgroups in maximal subgroups of GL1 (D)

M Mahdavi-Hezavehi - Journal of Algebra, 2001 - Elsevier
Let D be a division algebra of finite dimension over its center F. Given a noncommutative
maximal subgroup M of D*≔ GL1 (D), it is proved that either M contains a noncyclic free …

Are there free groups in division rings?

JZ Gonçalves, A Mandel - Israel Journal of Mathematics, 1986 - Springer
The following conjecture is investigated: a noncentral subnormal subgroup of the
multiplicative group of a division ring contains a noncyclic free subgroup. Special cases are …

Free products of units in algebras I. Quaternion algebras

JZ Gonçalves, A Mandel, M Shirvani - Journal of Algebra, 1999 - Elsevier
LetAbe a quaternion algebra over a commutative unital ring. We find sufficient conditions for
pairs of units ofAto generate a free group. Using the well-known isomorphism betweenSO …

A survey on free objects in division rings and in division rings with an involution

JZ Gonçalves, M Shirvani - Communications in Algebra, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
Let D be a division ring with center k, and let D† be its multiplicative group. We investigate
the existence of free groups in D†, and free algebras and free group algebras in D. We also …

A note on the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups in division rings

BX Hai, NK Ngoc - Archiv der Mathematik, 2013 - Springer
A division ring D is said to be weakly locally finite if for every finite subset S ⊂ DS⊂ D, the
division subring of D generated by S is centrally finite. It is known that the class of weakly …

Let F be an algebraically closed field and let R be a locally finite algebra over F. This paper
aims to show that any element of R is a product of at most three unipotent elements from R if …

Free symmetric and unitary pairs in division rings with involution

VO Ferreira, JZ Gonçalves, A Mandel - International Journal of …, 2005 - World Scientific
Let D be a division ring with an involution and characteristic different from 2. Then, up to a
few exceptions, D contains a pair of symmetric elements freely generating a free subgroup of …
