Commutative Algebra 2013-09-05 v2

Abstract

A new set of elementary symplectic elements is described, It is shown that these also generate the elementary symplectic group {\rm ESp}2n(R)_{2n}(R). These generators are more symmetrical than the usual ones, and are useful to study the action of the elementary symplectic group on unimodular rows. Also, an alternate proof of, {\rm ESp}2n(R)_{2n}(R) is a normal subgroup of {\rm Sp}2n(R)_{2n}(R), is shown using the Local Global Principle of D. Quillen for the new set of generators.
