In 1976, L.N. Vaserstein used a construction analogous to the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalisation, for obtaining a set of symplectic matrices from a set of elementary matrices. We have a similar construction for Petrov's odd unitary group. Here, we prove that the elementary matrices in the odd unitary analogue of the Gram-Schmidt process form a set of generators for the elementary linear group.
We prove the dilation principle for the relative Dickson-Siegel-Eichler-Roy (DSER) elementary orthogonal group and using the dilation principle we prove the Quillen's analog of the local-global principle for the group. Applying the relative local-global principle, we prove the solvability and nilpotency of the ${\rm SK_1}$-analog of the orthogonal groups and study the homotopy and commutativity principle for odd elementary orthogonal groups.
