Let V be any left vector space over any division ring D and let G be any group of finitary linear maps of V. Then the D — G bimodule V satisfies a Jordan- Hölder theorem. Specifically, there is a bijection between the G-nontrivial factors in two composition series of V such that corresponding factors are isomorphic as D — G bimodules. This cannot be extended to cover the G-trivial factors.
