[HTML][HTML] Structure of Chevalley groups over rings via universal localization

A Stepanov - Journal of Algebra, 2016 - Elsevier
In the current article we study the structure of a Chevalley group G (R) over a commutative
ring R. We generalize and improve the following results on:• the standard, relative, and multi …

Elementary subgroups of isotropic reductive groups

V Petrov, A Stavrova - St. Petersburg Mathematical Journal, 2009 - ams.org
Let $ G $ be a not necessarily split reductive group scheme over a commutative ring $ R $
with $1 $. Given a parabolic subgroup $ P $ of $ G $, the elementary group $\mathrm {E} _P …

Bak's work on the K-theory of rings

R Hazrat, N Vavilov - Journal of K-Theory, 2009 - cambridge.org
This paper studies the work of Bak in algebra and (lower) algebraic K-theory and some later
developments stimulated by them. We present an overview of his work in these areas …

Commutator width in Chevalley groups

R Hazrat, A Stepanov, N Vavilov, Z Zhang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1206.2128, 2012 - arxiv.org
The present paper is the [slightly expanded] text of our talk at the Conference" Advances in
Group Theory and Applications" at Porto Cesareo in June 2011. Our main results assert that …

Homotopy invariance of non-stable K1-functors

A Stavrova - Journal of K-Theory, 2014 - cambridge.org
Let G be a reductive algebraic group over a field k, such that every semisimple normal
subgroup of G has isotropic rank≥ 2, ie contains (Gm) 2. Let K1G be the non-stable K1 …

On the length of commutators in Chevalley groups

A Stepanov, N Vavilov - Israel Journal of Mathematics, 2011 - Springer
Abstract Let G= G (Φ, R) be the simply connected Chevalley group with root system Φ over a
ring R. Denote by E (Φ, R) its elementary subgroup. The main result of the article asserts that …

[HTML][HTML] Localization–completion strikes again: Relative K1 is nilpotent by abelian

A Bak, R Hazrat, N Vavilov - Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra, 2009 - Elsevier
Let G and E stand for one of the following pairs of groups:• Either G is the general quadratic
group U (2n, R, Λ), n≥ 3, and E its elementary subgroup EU (2n, R, Λ), for an almost …

Group actions and Helly's theorem

B Farb - Advances in Mathematics, 2009 - Elsevier
We describe a connection between the combinatorics of generators for certain groups and
the combinatorics of Helly's 1913 theorem on convex sets. We use this connection to prove …

The yoga of commutators

R Hazrat, AV Stepanov, NA Vavilov, Z Zhang - Journal of Mathematical …, 2011 - Springer
In the present paper, we discuss some recent versions of localization methods for
calculations in the groups of points of algebraic-like and classical-like groups. Namely, we …

Regular bi-interpretability and finite axiomatizability of Chevalley groups

E Bunina, P Gvozdevsky - arXiv preprint arXiv:2311.01954, 2023 - arxiv.org
In this paper we consider Chevalley groups over commutative rings with $1 $, constructed
by irreducible root systems of rank $> 1$. We always suppose that for the systems $ A_2 …
