Abstract

If RR is a commutative ring, II an ideal of RR and v,wUm2n(R,I)v, w \in Um_{2n}(R, I) then we show that v,wv, w are in the same orbit of elementary action if and only if they are in the same orbit of elementary symplectic action. We also show that if AA is a non-singular affine algebra of dimension dd over an algebraically closed field kk such that d!A=Ad! A = A, d2(mod4)d \equiv 2 \pmod 4 and II an ideal of AA, then Umd(A,I)=e1Spd(A,I)Um_d(A, I) = e_1{Sp}_d(A, I). As a consequence it is proved that if AA is a non-singular affine algebra of dimension dd over an algebraically closed field kk such that (d+1)!A=A(d + 1)!A = A, d1(mod4)d \equiv 1 \pmod 4 and II a principal ideal then Spd1(A,I)ESpd+1(A,I)=ESpd1(A,I)Sp_{d-1}(A, I) \cap {ESp}_{d+1}(A, I) = {ESp}_{d -1}(A, I). We give an example to show that the above result does not hold true for an affine algebra over a C2C_2 field and also show by an example that the above stability estimate is optimal.
