Abstract
The structure of finite quotients of "large" subgroups of the multiplicative group of a finite dimensional division algebra is interesting and is related to the Margulis-Platonov conjecture. We develop machinery to handle such quotients and we conjecture that finite quotients of the multiplicative group of a finite dimensional division algebra are solvable. The proofs rely on Wedderburn's Factorisation Theorem.
