Extract

For any associative ring A with 1 and any integer n ≥ 1, let GLn A be the group of all invertible n × n matrices over A and EnA the subgroup generated by all elementary matrices aij, where aA and 1 ≤ ijn. When n = 1, the group GL1A is the multiplicative group of A and the group E1A is trivial.
