Abstract

We show that there is no nontrivial group homomorphism En(R) → En-1(R) over commutative local rings and division rings for n ≥ 3, respectively. It gives a negative answer to Ye's problem (see [S. K. Ye, Low-dimensional representations of matrix group actions on CAT(0) spaces and manifolds, J. Algebra 409 (2014) 219-243]) for the above rings.
