Let G be a reductive group over a commutative ring R. We say that G has isotropic rank >=n, if every normal semisimple reductive R-subgroup of G contains (G_m)^n. We prove that if G has isotropic rank >=1 and R is a regular domain…
The homology of GL_n(F) and SL_n(F) is studied, where F is an infinite field. Our main theorem states that the natural map H_4(GL_3(F), k) --> H_4(GL_4(F), k) is injective where k is a field with char(k) \neq 2, 3. For algebraically closed…
