The normality of locally finite associative division algebras over classical fields (Q1110634)

A central algebra R over a field K is called a normal locally finite (NLF-) algebra over K, if every finite set of R is contained in a central finite dimensional K-subalgebra of R. G. Koethe (1931) asked whether every central locally finite division K-algebra is an NLF-algebra. In the paper a positive answer to this problem is given, if K, for example, is a local or a global field.
