The main results that the authors obtain are the following two theorems: 1. Let \(\Phi\) be a reduced irreducible root system and \(R\) be a commutative ring such that \(\mathrm{sr}(R)=1\). Then a simply connected Chevalley group \(G(\Phi,R)\) admits a unitriangular factorization \[ G(\Phi,R)=U(\Phi,R)U^-(\Phi,R)U(\Phi,R)U^-(\Phi,R) \] of length 4. 2. Let \(\Phi\) be a reduced irreducible root system and \(p\in\mathbb Z\) be a rational prime. Under the assumption of the Generalized Riemann Hypothesis the simply connected Chevalley group \(G(\Phi,\mathbb Z[\frac{1}{p}])\) admits the unitriangular factorization \[ G\left(\Phi,\mathbb Z\left[\frac{1}{p}\right]\right)=\left(U\left(\Phi,\mathbb Z\left[\frac{1}{p}\right]\right)U^-\left(\Phi,\mathbb Z\left[\frac{1}{p}\right]\right)\right)^3 \] of length \(6\). The authors provide a list of 67 publications that are related to the unitriangular factorization. They discuss the terms used in various publications, and the connections that exist between the results obtained. They also state several unsolved problems.
