Another presentation of orthogonal Steinberg groups

Group Theory 2026-05-08 v3

Abstract

We use the pro-group approach to show that StO(M,q)\mathrm{StO}(M, q) admits van der Kallen's "another presentation", where MM is a module over a commutative ring with sufficiently isotropic quadratic form qq. Moreover, we construct an analog of ESD-transvections in orthogonal Steinberg pro-groups under some assumptions on their parameters.
