Let G and E stand for one of the following pairs of groups: • Either G is the general quadratic group U(2n, R,Λ), n ≥ 3, and E its elementary subgroup EU(2n, R,Λ), for an almost commutative form ring (R,Λ), • or G is the Chevalley group G(Φ, R) of type Φ, and E its elementary subgroup E(Φ, R), where Φ is a reduced irreducible root system of rank ≥ 2 and R is commutative.
