Abstract

For a smooth affine algebra RR of dimension d3d \geq 3 over a field kk and an invertible alternating matrix χ\chi of rank 2n2n, the group Sp(χ)Sp(\chi) of invertible matrices of rank 2n2n over RR which are symplectic with respect to χ\chi acts on the right on the set Um2n(R)Um_{2n}(R) of unimodular rows of length 2n2n over RR. In this paper, we prove that Sp(χ)Sp(\chi) acts transitively on Um2n(R)Um_{2n}(R) if kk is algebraically closed, d!k×d! \in k^{\times} and 2nd2n \geq d.
