The subnormal subgroup algebraicity conjecture for division rings

Let DD be a division ring with center FF, let KK be a division subring of DD containing FF, and let NN be a subnormal subgroup of DD^*. A division ring or subset is left algebraic (respectively, right algebraic) over KK when its elements satisfy the corresponding one-sided algebraicity condition over KK.

Subnormal subgroup algebraicity conjecture. If NN is non-central, then NN is left algebraic (respectively, right algebraic) over KK if and only if DD is left algebraic (respectively, right algebraic) over KK.

The conjecture asks whether one-sided algebraicity of a non-central subnormal subgroup forces, and is forced by, one-sided algebraicity of the whole division ring. Its resolution is not indicated in the supplied source, so its status remains open.
