Abstract

Suppose R is a commutative ring with 1, б=(б ij ) is a fixedD-net of ideals of R of ordern, and Gб is the corresponding net subgroup of the general linear group GL (n, R). There is constructed for б a homomorphismdet б of the subgroup G(б) into a certain Abelian group Φ(б). Let I be the index set {1...,n}. For each subset α⫅I let б(∝)=∑б ij б ji , wherei, ranges over all indices in α and j independently over the indices in the complement Iα (б(I) is the zero ideal). Letdet ∝(a) denote the principal minor of order |α|⩽n of the matrixa ∃ G (б) corresponding to the indices in α, and let' Φ(б) be the Cartesian product of the multiplicative groups of the quotient rings R/б(α) over all subsets α⫅ I. The homomorphismdet б is defined as follows: It is proved that if R is a semilocal commutative Bezout ring, then the kernelKer det б coincides with the subgroup E(б) generated by all transvections in G(б). For these R is also definedTm det б.
