A true relative of Suslin's normality theorem

Group Theory 2016-09-28 v1

Abstract

We prove a normality theorem for the "true" elementary subgroups of SLn(A)SL_n(A) defined by the ideals of a commutative unital ring AA. Our result is an analogue of a normality theorem, due to Suslin, for the standard elementary subgroups, and it greatly generalizes a theorem of Mennicke.
