  Abstract:
Suppose that D is a division ring with center F and N is a non-central normal subgroup of GLn(D). In this paper we generalize some known results about maximal subgroups of GLn(D) to maximal subgroups of N. More precisely we prove that if M is a maximal subgroup of N such that F[M] satisfies a polynomial identity and CMn(D)(M)\F contains an algebraic element over F or CMn(D)(M) = F and either n ≥ 2 or n = 1 and M is not abelian, then [D: F] < ∞.
