Title: Normal subgroups in the group of column-finite infinite matrices

Abstract: The classical result, due to Jordan, Burnside, Dickson, says that every normal subgroup of GL(nK) (K – a field, ≥ 3) which is not contained in the center, contains SL(nK). A.Rosenberg gave description of normal subgroups of GL(V), where V is a vector space of any infinite cardinality dimension over a division ring. However, when he considers subgroups of the direct product of the center and the group of linear transformations g such that g-idV has finite dimensional range the proof is not complete. We fill this gap for countably dimensional V giving description of the lattice of normal subgroups in the group of infinite column-finite matrices indexed by positive integers over any field. Similar results for Lie algebras of matrices will be surveyed.

This is based on results presented in https://arxiv.org/abs/1808.06873 and https://arxiv.org/abs/1806.01099.

(joint work with Martyna Maciaszczyk and Sebastian Zurek.)
