Maximal Subgroups of Almost Subnormal Subgroups in Division Rings

In this paper, we investigate maximal subgroups of an almost subnormal subgroup G in a division ring D whose center is infinite. Among results, we prove that if M is such a maximal subgroup, then M is abelian provided M is either locally finite or FC-group, and D is weakly locally finite. Also, we prove a theorem on the existence of non-cyclic free subgroups of a maximal subgroup M in such a G.
