Maximal subgroups of \(\mathrm{SL}_{n}(D)\) (Q2419473)

The goal of this paper is to prove the following: Let there be a field \(F\), a central division \(F\)-algebra \(D\), a subnormal subgroup \(N\) of \(\mathrm{GL}_n(D)\) and a non-abelian maximal subgroup \(M\) of \(N\). Then, if \(M\) is a non-abelian solvable maximal subgroup of \(N\), then \(n = 1\) and \(D\) is cyclic of prime degree \(p\) with a maximal cyclic subfield \(K/F\) such that the groups \(\mathrm{Gal}(K/F)\) and \(M/(K^* \cap N)\) are isomorphic. Furthermore, for any \(x \in M \setminus K^*\), we have \(x^p \in F^*\) and \(D = F[M] =\bigoplus_{i=0}^{p-1} Kx^i\).
