Abstract

In this paper we prove that if G(R)=Gπ(Φ,R)G(R)=G_\pi (\Phi,R) (E(R)=Eπ(Φ,R))(E(R)=E_{\pi}(\Phi, R)) is an (elementary) Chevalley group of rank >1> 1, RR is a local ring (with 12\frac{1}{2} for the root systems A2,Bl,Cl,F4,G2{\mathbf A}_2, {\mathbf B}_l, {\mathbf C}_l, {\mathbf F}_4, {\mathbf G}_2 and with 13\frac{1}{3} for G2){\mathbf G}_{2}), then the group G(R)G(R) (or (E(R)(E(R)) is regularly bi-interpretable with the ring~RR. As a consequence of this theorem, we show that the class of all Chevalley groups over local rings (with the listed restrictions) is elementary definable, i.\,e., if for an arbitrary group~HH we have HGπ(Φ,R)H\equiv G_\pi(\Phi, R), than there exists a ring RRR'\equiv R such that HGπ(Φ,R)H\cong G_\pi(\Phi,R').
