A note on cancellation of projective modules

Abstract

Let AA be a ring of dimension dd. Assume that for every finite extension ring RR of AA, E_{d+1}(R) acts transitively on Um_{d+1}(R). Then we prove that E(A\oplus P) acts transitively on Um(A\oplus P), for any projective A-module P of rank d. As a consequence of this, we generalise some results of Gubeladze.
