Abstract

The notion of a group of finitary automorphisms of an arbitrary module over an arbitrary ring is introduced, and it is shown how properties of such groups can be derived from the case where the ring is a division ring (that is, from the properties of finitary skew linear groups). The results are particularly strong if either the group is locally finite or the module is Noetherian.
