In 1994, the second author and W. van der Kallen showed that the injective stabilization bound for K_1 of general linear group is d+1 over a regular affine algebra over a perfect C_1-field, where d is the krull dimension of the base ring…

The elementary action of symplectic and orthogonal groups on unimodular rows of length $2n$ is transitive for $2n \geq \max(4, d+2)$ in the symplectic case, and $2n \geq \max(6, 2d+4)$ in the orthogonal case, over monoid rings $R[M]$, where…

We compute low-dimensional K-groups of certain rings associated with the study of the Hermite ring conjecture. This includes a monoid ring whose low-dimensional K-groups were recently computed by Krishna and Sarwar in the case where the…

Suppose $\ell$ is a prime number, $\ell >3$, $K$ is a field that is an unramified finite extension of the field $\Q_\ell$ of $\ell$-adic numbers, and $G$ is a finite group that is a semi-direct product of a normal $\ell'$-subgroup $H$ and a…

We solve a classical problem of centrality of symplectic $\mathrm K_2$, namely we show that for an arbitrary commutative ring $R$, $l\geq3$ the symplectic Steinberg group $\mathrm{StSp}(2l,\,R)$ as an extension of the elementary symplectic…

We study symplectic linear algebra over the ring $\Rt$ of Colombeau generalized numbers. Due to the algebraic properties of $\Rt$ it is possible to preserve a number of central results of classical symplectic linear algebra. In particular,…

Let $K$ be a number field with ring of integers $R = \mathcal{O}_K$. We show that if $R$ is not a principal ideal domain, then the symplectic group $\operatorname{Sp}_{2n}(R)$ has non-trivial rational cohomology in its virtual cohomological…

We use algebraic arc complexes to prove a homological stability result for symplectic groups with slope 2/3 for rings with finite unitary stable rank. Symplectic groups are here interpreted as the automorphism groups of formed spaces with…

The algebra of holomorphic polynomial Sp_{2n}-invariants of k complex 2n by 2n matrices (under diagonal conjugation action) is generated by the traces of words in these matrices and their symplectic adjoints. No concrete minimal generating…

The symplectic graph Sp(2d, q) is the collinearity graph of the symplectic space of dimension 2d over a finite field of order q. A k-regular graph on v vertices is a divisible design graph with parameters (v, k, lambda_1, lambda_2 ,m,n) if…

A new set of elementary symplectic elements is described, It is shown that these also generate the elementary symplectic group {\rm ESp}$_{2n}(R)$. These generators are more symmetrical than the usual ones, and are useful to study the…

The syntactic monoid of a language is generalized to the level of a symmetric monoidal closed category D. This allows for a uniform treatment of several notions of syntactic algebras known in the literature, including the syntactic monoids…

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic not 2 or 3. Let $V$ be the $k$-space of binary cubic polynomials. The natural symplectic structure on $k^2$ promotes to a symplectic structure $\omega$ on $V$ and from the natural symplectic action of…

If $R$ is a commutative ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $v, w \in Um_{2n}(R, I)$ then we show that $v, w$ 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…

Fisher [Fis75] and Baur [Bau75] showed independently in the seventies that if $T$ is a complete first-order theory extending the theory of modules, then the class of models of $T$ with pure embeddings is stable. In [Maz4, 2.12], it is asked…

We improve, by a factor of 2, known homology stability ranges for the integral homology of symplectic groups over commutative local rings with infinite residue field and show that the obstruction to further stability is bounded below by…

Let $K$ be an algebraic number field with ring of integers $\Cal{O}_{K}$, $p>2$ be a rational prime and $G$ be the cyclic group of order $p $. Let $\Lambda$ denote the order $\Cal{O}_{K}[G].$ Let $Cl(\Lambda)$ denote the locally free class…

We extend the notion of a purely infinite simple C*-algebra to the context of unital rings, and we study its basic properties, specially those related to K-Theory. For instance, if $R$ is a purely infinite simple ring, then $K_0(R)^+=…

We show that for any commutative noetherian regular ring $R$ containing $\Q$, the map $K_1(R) \to K_1(\frac{R[x_1, \cdots , x_4]}{(x_1x_2 - x_3x_4)})$ is an isomorphism. This answers a question of Gubeladze. We also compute the higher…
