We show that the rank r component of the free idempotent generated semigroup
of the biordered set of the full linear monoid of n x n matrices over a
division ring Q has maximal subgroup isomorphic to the general linear group
GL_r(Q), where n and r are positive integers with r < n/3.Comment: 37 pages; Transactions of the American Mathematical Society (to
