Abstract: Jose-Rao introduced and studied the Special Unimodular Vector group $SU{m}_r(R)$ and $EU{m}_r(R)$, its Elementary Unimodular Vector subgroup. They proved that for $rgeq2$, $EU{m}_r(R)$ is a normal subgroup of $SU{m}_r(R)$. The Jose-Rao theorem says that the quotient Unimodular Vector group, $SU{m}_r(R)/EU{m}_r(R)$, for $rgeq2$, is a subgroup of the orthogonal quotient group $S{O}_{2(r+1)}(R)/E{O}_{2(r+1)}(R)$. The latter group is known to be nilpotent by the work of Hazrat-Vavilov, following methods of A. Bak; and so is the former. In this article we give a direct proof, following ideas of A. Bak, to show that the quotient Unimodular Vector group is nilpotent of class $leqd=dim(R)$. We also use the Quillen-Suslin theory, inspired by A. Bak's method, to prove that if $R=A[X]$, with $A$ a local ring, then the quotient Unimodular Vector group is abelian.
