Abstract. It is shown that if A is an affine algebra of odd dimension d over an infinite field of cohomological dimension at most one, with (d + 1)!A = A, and with 4|(d − 1), then Um d+1 (A) = e 1 Sp d+1 (A). As a consequence it is shown that if A is a non-singular affine algebra of dimension d over an infinite field of cohomological dimension at most one, and d!A = A, and 4|d, then. This result is a partial analogue for evendimensional algebras of the one obtained by Basu and Rao for odd-dimensional algebras earlier.
