%0 Journal Article %T Elementary Matrix Reduction Over J-Stable Rings %A Marjan Sheibani Abdolyousefi %A Huanyin Chen %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X A commutative ring $R$ is J-stable provided that for any $a\not\in J(R)$, $R/aR$ has stable range one. A ring $R$ is called an elementary divisor ring if every $m\times n$ matrix over $R$ admits diagonal reduction. We prove that a J-stabe ring $R$ is an elementary divisor ring if and only if it is a Bezout ring. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1412.5714v1
