Abstract: | LetD=F(G) be a division ring generated as a division ring by its central subfieldF and the polycyclic-by-finite subgroupG of its multiplicative group, letn be a positive integer and letX be a finitely generated subgroup of GL(n, D). It is implicit in recent works of A. I. Lichtman thatX is residually finite. In fact, much more is true. If charD=p≠0, then there is a normal subgroup ofX of finite index that is residually a finitep-group. If charD=0, then there exists a cofinite set π=π(X) of rational primes such that for eachp in π there is a normal subgroup ofX of finite index that is residually a finitep-group. |
