Abstract

LetM be a finitely generated free module over a local ring. An automorphism α ofM can be written as a product of automorphisms that are elements of a given generating groupG of the set of all automorphisms ofM. The minimal number of elements required for such a product is called the length ofα. We study two decompositions using similar generating groups and compare the two resulting lengths.
