Let $(R, Δ)$ be an odd form algebra. We show that the unitary Steinberg group $\mathrm{StU}(R, Δ)$ is a crossed module over the odd unitary group $\mathrm U(R, Δ)$ in two major cases: if the odd form algebra has a free orthogonal hyperbolic family satisfying a local stable rank condition and if the odd form algebra is sufficiently isotropic and quasi-finite. The proof uses only elementary localization techniques in terms of pro-groups.
We prove that $\mathrm{St}(n, A)$ is a crossed module over $\mathrm{GL}(n, A)$ under a local stable rank condition on an algebra $A$ over a commutative ring. Our proof uses only elementary localization techniques in terms of pro-groups and stability results for $\mathrm K_1$ and $\mathrm K_2$. We also prove similar result for the Steinberg group associated with any sufficiently isotropic general linear group constructed by a quasi-finite algebra.
We give a new purely algebraic approach to odd unitary groups using odd form rings. Using these objects, we prove the stability theorems for odd unitary $K_1$-functor without using the corresponding result from linear $K$-theory under the ordinary stable rank condition. Moreover, we prove a natural stabilization result for projective unitary groups and various general unitary groups.
We will give a definition of quadratic forms on bimodules and prove the sandwich classification theorem for subgroups of the general linear group $\mathrm{GL}(P)$ normalized by the elementary unitary group $\mathrm{EU}(P)$ if $P$ is a nondegenerate bimodule with large enough hyperbolic part.
