Holomorphic factorization of mappings into SL_n(C)

Complex Variables 2008-12-02 v1

Abstract

We solve Gromov's Vaserstein problem. Namely, we show that a null-homotopic holomorphic mapping from a finite dimensional reduced Stein space into SL_n(C) can be factored into a finite product of unipotent matrices with holomorphic entries.
