Review text

Let \(\mathcal D\) be a division algebra of finite dimension over \(\mathbb{Q}\) equipped with a positive involution. Let \(K\) be its center. Let \(G\) be a maximal finite primitive subgroup of \(\text{GL}(\mathcal D)\), \(N\) its generalized Fitting group, \(B\) the generalized Bravais group of \(N\). Let \(L\) be the center of the algebra spanned by the matrices in \(N\) over \(K\). This \(L\) is a number field and \(G\) acts on \(L\) by Galois automorphisms. Let \(S\) be the kernel of this action. The paper under review is mainly devoted to proving that if \(L\) is a totally real number field, then the quotient group \(S/B\) is of exponent 1 or 2. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00035].
