comment Solve for $A$ and $B$ in $AXB=Y$
@ Peter. I was never claiming that I could solve the actual question. In fact, I stated that I can't. I said in the second line that I can give a linear polynomial (in an answer as I haven't got enough rep for commenting) and was then asked to elaborate which I did.

comment Solve for $A$ and $B$ in $AXB=Y$
I guess we are not on the same page. But, if I take $X$ to be a non-zero number -denoted by $x$- and $Y$ to be $x \cdot I_n$, then there is a solution, although $x$ has rank 1 and $Y$ rank n. Indeed, denoting by $e_i$ the i-th basis vector we have $$Y=\sum_i e_i \cdot x \cdot e_i^t=\sum_i x \cdot e_i \cdot e_i^t.$$ I hope haven't made new mistakes now.

I have to admit that I am puzzled now. Peter, could you be so kind to give a short example ? Furthermore, wouldn't that make your comment the desired answer ? btw I just clarified the notation above.

comment Reference on generators of subgroups of symplectic groups
Dear Aakumadula, thanks for helping with the syntax! Sorry, I haven't had time to look up your reference in detail, yet ! Dear Nathan, that's a really nice one ! But doesn't $u(1)$ generate all $u(x)$s ? And can't we pick only finitely many $C(a,b,c,d)$s as $\Gamma_0^{(1)}(N)$ is finitely generated ?

comment Reference on generators of subgroups of symplectic groups
Indeed, Mumford gives generators for $\Gamma_g$,$\Gamma_g[2]$ and $\Gamma_g[1,2]$ on pages 202-210. But to be honest I was hoping for more.

comment Reference on generators of subgroups of symplectic groups
Dear J, as you proposed I just clarified the notation $M=(A B \\ C D)$. With the few generators I was tkinking of E. Freitag 'Siegelsche Modulformen' (in Springer's Comprehensive Studies 254 ) appendix V pages 322-328. The proof relies on the fact that he finds for an EUCLIDEAN ring 'smaller' or 'easier to handle' sets of generators for $SL(g,R)$ and $GL(g,R)$. Now I'm having a look in the 2 books you mentioned.
