Abstract:Let S be a subgroup of SL n R, where R is a commutative ring with identity and n^3. The order of S, oS, is the R-ideal generated by x ij , x ii À x jj i j j, where x ij P S. Let E n R be the subgroup of SL n R generated by the elementary matrices. The level of SY lS, is the largest R-ideal q with the property that S contains all the q-elementary matrices and all conjugates of these by elements of E n R. It is clear that lS % oS. Vaserstein has proved that, for all R and for all n^3, the subgroup S is normalize… Show more
