Abstract

Bhatwadekar and Raja Sridharan have constructed a homomorphism from an orbit set of unimodular rows to an Euler class group. We show under weaker assumptions that a generalization of its kernel is a subgroup. Our tool is a partially defined operation on the set of unimodular matrices with two rows.
