Sandwich classification for O₂n+1(R) and U₂n+1(R,) revisited

Abstract: In a recent paper, the author proved that if

n g e q 3

is a natural number,

R

a commutative ring and

s i g m a i n G L_{n} (R)

, then

t_{k l} (s i g m a_{i j})

where

i e q j

and

k e q l

can be expressed as a product of

8

matrices of the form

^{e p s i l o n} s i g m a^{p m 1}

where

e p s i l o n i n E_{n} (R)

. In this article we prove similar results for the odd-dimensional orthogonal groups

O_{2 n + 1} (R)

and the odd-dimensional unitary groups

U_{2 n + 1} (R, D e l t a)

under the assumption that

R

is commutative and

n g e q 3

. This yields new, short proofs of the Sandwich Classification Theorems for the groups

O_{2 n + 1} (R)

and

U_{2 n + 1} (R, D e l t a)

.
