Let K be a division ring. A subgroup H of the multiplicative group K′ of K is subnormal if there is a finite sequence (H = A0, A1, . . . , An = K′) of subgroups of K′ such that each Ai is a normal subgroup of Ai+1. It is known (2, 3) that if H is a subdivision ring of K such that H′ is subnormal in K′, then either H = K or H is in the centre Z(K) of K.
