Equality of elementary symplectic group and symplectic group

Commutative Algebra 2024-12-17 v1

Abstract

V.I. Kopeiko proved that over a euclidean ring, the symplectic group defined with respect to the standard skew-symmetric matrix is same as the elementary symplectic group. Here we generalise the result of Kopeiko for a symplectic group defined with respect to any invertible skew-symmetric matrix of Pfaffian one.
