The author is interested in the consequences of the existence of comparatively small maximal subgroups (e.g. finite ones) in skew linear groups; that is, in matrix groups over division rings. His paper culminates in the following Theorem 12. Let \(D\) be an infinite division algebra of finite dimension over its centre, \(n\) a positive integer, \(N\) a normal subgroup of \(\text{GL}(n,D)\) and \(M\) a maximal subgroup of \(N\) containing the centre \(Z\) of \(N\). If \(M/Z\) is finite, then \(N\) lies in the centre of \(\text{GL}(n,D)\).
