Given an integral domain $R$, the Steinberg group $St_n(R)$ is the group given by generators $e_{pq}(\lambda) := \mathbf{1} + a_{pq}(\lambda)$, $p\neq q$, $1\leq p,q \leq n$ Subject to the relations $$\begin{align} e_{ij}(\lambda) e_{ij}(\mu) &= e_{ij}(\lambda+\mu) \\ \left[ e_{ij}(\lambda),e_{jk}(\mu) \right] &= e_{ik}(\lambda \mu) && \mbox{for } i \neq k\\ \left[ e_{ij}(\lambda),e_{kl}(\mu) \right] &= \mathbf{1} && \mbox{for } i \neq l, j \neq k\\ \end{align}$$ The Steinberg group is the universal central extension of the special linear group over $R$; $Sl_n(R)$. Is there a description of the Steinberg group $St_n(Z)$, the special linear group over the integers as a lattice in some lie group, and some covering map realizing the universal central extension of $Sln(R)$ ( real coefficients), which restricts to the integral universal central extension of $Sln(Z)$ given by the Steinberg group ?
