Let $R$ be a regular ring of dimension $d$ and $L$ be a $c$-divisible monoid. If ${K}_1{Sp}(R)$ is trivial and $k \geq d+2,$ then we prove that the symplectic group ${Sp}_{2k}(R[L])$ is generated by elementary symplectic matrices over $R[L]$. When $d \leq 1$ or $R$ is a geometrically regular ring containing a field, then improved bounds have been established. We also discuss the linear case, extending the work of Gubeladze.
The elementary action of symplectic and orthogonal groups on unimodular rows of length $2n$ is transitive for $2n \geq \max(4, d+2)$ in the symplectic case, and $2n \geq \max(6, 2d+4)$ in the orthogonal case, over monoid rings $R[M]$, where $R$ is a commutative noetherian ring of dimension $d$, and $M$ is commutative cancellative torsion free monoid. As a consequence, one gets the surjective stabilization bound for the $K_1$ for classical groups. This is an extension of J. Gubeladze's results for linear groups.
Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring of dimension $d$ and $M$ be a commutative$,$ cancellative$,$ torsion-free monoid of rank $r$. Then $S$-$dim(R[M]) \leq max\{1, dim(R[M])-1 \} = max\{1, d+r-1 \}$. Further$,$ we define a class of monoids $\{\mathfrak{M}_n\}_{n \geq 1}$ such that if $M \in \mathfrak{M}_n$ is seminormal$,$ then $S$-$dim(R[M]) \leq dim(R[M]) - n= d+r-n,$ where $1 \leq n \leq r$. As an application, we prove that for the Segre extension $S_{mn}(R)$ over $R,$ $S$-$dim(S_{mn}(R)) \leq dim(S_{mn}(R)) - \Big[\frac{m+n-1}{min\{m,n\}}\Big] = d+m+n-1 - \Big[\frac{m+n-1}{min\{m,n\}}\Big]$.
