In [8] I. N. Herstein conjectured that all the finite odd order sub-groups of the multiplicative group in a division ring are cyclic. This conjecture was proved false in general by S. A. Amitsur in [1]. In his paper Amitsur classifies all finite groups which can appear as a multiplicative subgroup of a division ring. Let D be a division ring with prime field k and let G be a finite group isomorphic to a multiplicative subgroup of D.
