Lifting of isomorphism between elementary linear groups (Q5906437)

Let \(R\) and \(A\) be commutative rings with 1. Let \(m,n\geq 3\) be integers. All isomorphisms between the groups \(E_m(R)\) and \(E_n(A)\) generated by elementary matrices are known. They exist only when \(m=n\), and all of them are of standard type when \(n>3\). When \(n>3\) every isomorphism can be lifted to an isomorphism of the Steinberg groups \(St_m(R)\) and \(St_n(A)\). The paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for lifting in the case \(n=3\).
