Abstract
Let be a number field, suppose that is a central simple division algebra over , and choose any maximal order of . The object of this paper is to show that the group of -units of is generated by elements of small height once contains an explicit finite set of places of . This generalizes a theorem of H.\ W.\ Lenstra Jr., who proved such a result when . Our height bound is an explicit function of the number field and the discriminant of a maximal order in used to define its -units.
