Abstract

Let RR be a Noetherian ring of dimension dd and AA be a graded RR-subalgebra of R[X,1/X]R[X,1/X]. Let PP be a projective module over AA of rank rmax{d+1,2}r \geq \max\{d+1,2\} and =ˇ(a,p)\v=(a,p) be a unimodular element of APA \oplus P. We find an elementary automorphism τ\tau such that τ()ˇ=(1,0)\tau (\v) = (1, 0). Consequently, we obtain the cancellative property of PP. We show that PP splits off a free summand of rank one. When A=R[X]A = R[X] or R[X,1/X]R[X, 1/ X], the results are well-known due to the contributions by various authors.
