Relative Decomposition of Transvections: Explicit Bounds
摘要
Let R be a commutative associative ring with 1, and let G = GL(n,R) be the general linear group of degree n ≥ 3 over R. Further, let I ⊴ R be an ideal of R. In the present note, which is a marginalia to the paper of Alexei Stepanov and the second author (2000), explicit expressions of the elementary transvection gtij(ξ)g−1, where 1 ≤ i ≠ j ≤ n, ξ ∈ I and g ∈ G, are obtained as products of the Stein–Tits–Vaserstein generators of the relative elementary group E(n,R, I).
