Symplectic orbits of unimodular rows.

For a smooth affine algebra R of dimension d ≥ 3 over a field k and an invertible alternating matrix χ of rank 2 n , the group S p (χ) of invertible matrices of rank 2 n over R which are symplectic with respect to χ acts on the right on the set U m 2 n (R) of unimodular rows of length 2 n over R. In this paper, we prove that S p (χ) acts transitively on U m 2 n (R) if k is algebraically closed, d ! ∈ k × and 2 n ≥ d. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
