Abstract

Let RR be an exchange ring. We prove that the relative elementary subgroups En(R,I)E_n(R,I) are normal in the general linear group GLn(R)GL_n(R) if n1n\geq 1 and that the standard commutator formula En(R,I)=[En(R),En(R,I)]=[En(R),Cn(R,I)]E_n(R,I)=[E_n(R),E_n(R,I)]=[E_n(R),C_n(R,I)] holds if n3n\geq 3. Moreover, we classify the subgroups of GLn(R)GL_n(R) that are normalised by the elementary subgroup En(R)E_n(R) in the case n3n\geq 3.
