Abstract: Let $K$ be a field and let $sigma$ be an automorphism and let $delta$ be a $sigma$-derivation of $K$. Then we show that the multiplicative group of nonzero elements of the division ring $D=K(x;sigma,delta)$ contains a free non-cyclic subgroup unless $D$ is commutative, answering a special case of a conjecture of Lichtman. As an application, we show that division algebras formed by taking the Goldie ring of quotients of group algebras of torsion-free non-abelian solvable-by-finite groups always contain free non-cyclic subgroups.
