Invertibility of Matrices over Subrings

Abstract

Given rings RSR \subseteq S, consider the division closure DC(R,S)DC(R,S) and the rational closure RC(R,S)RC(R,S) of R in S. If S is commutative, then DC(R,S)=RC(R,S)=RT1DC(R,S)=RC(R,S)=RT^{-1}, where T={tR:t1S}T = \{t\in R : t^{-1} \in S\}. We show that this is also true if we assume only that R is commutative.
