For a commutative ring $R$ define $\mathrm{SK}_1(n, R)=\mathrm{SL}(n, R)/\mathrm{E}(n, R)$, the quotient of the special linear group by its subgroup generated by the elementary matrices. When $n\...

Let $D$ be a division ring and $R=D[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ the polynomial ring in $n$ variables. Now let $GL_m(R),\,E_m(R)$ be the usual general linear group and its subgroup generated by the elementary ...

Many matrix decompositions - like the Jordan Normal Form, the SVD, the spectral theorem, the Takagi decomposition - have the property that they express a matrix $M$ as the form: $$M = A D B$$ where $D$...
