Abstract

Let RR be the polydisc algebra or the Wiener algebra. It is shown that the group SLn(R)SL_n(R) is generated by the subgroup of elementary matrices with all diagonal entries 11 and at most one nonzero off-diagonal entry. The result an easy consequence of the deep result due to Ivarsson and Kutzschebauch (Ann. of Math. 2012).
