Generation of Local Unitary Groups
Abstract
Let $E$ be a two-dimensional \'etale algebra over a non-Archimedean local field $K$ of characteristic zero. We show that the unitary group of a non-degenerate hermitian lattice over $E$ is generated by symmetries and rescaled Eichler isometries. In the appendix we show that unless $E/K$ is a ramified dyadic field extension and the residue field has two elements, symmetries suffice.
