Exchange rings generated by their units. (Q884905): Difference between revisions

Let \(R\) be an exchange ring with primitive factors Artinian. In this paper the author proves that there exists \(u\in U(R)\) such that \(1_R\pm u\in U(R)\), iff for any \(a\in R\), there exists \(u\in U(R)\) such that \(a\pm u\in U(R)\). Furthermore, the author proves that, for any \(A\in M_n(R)\) (\(n\geq 2\)), there exists \(U\in\text{GL}_n(R)\) such that \(A\pm U\in\text{GL}_n(R)\).
