%0 Journal Article %T Holomorphic factorization of mappings into SL_n(C) %A Bj£¿rn Ivarsson %A Frank Kutzschebauch %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We solve Gromov's Vaserstein problem. Namely, we show that a null-homotopic holomorphic mapping from a finite dimensional reduced Stein space into SL_n(C) can be factored into a finite product of unipotent matrices with holomorphic entries. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0812.0312v1
