    Abstract

    We finish the proof of the main structure theorems for a Chevalley group G(Φ, R) of rank ≥ 2 over an arbitrary commutative ring R. Namely, we prove that for any admissible pair (A, B) in the sense of Abe, the corresponding relative elementary group E(,R, A, B) and the full congruence subgroup C(Φ, R, A, B) are normal in G(Φ, R) itself, and not just normalised by the elementary group E(Φ, R) and that [E (Φ, R), C(Φ, R, A, B)] Φ = E, (Φ, R, A, B). For the case = F 4 these results are new. The proof is new also for other cases, since we explicitly define C (Φ, R, A, B) by congruences in the adjoint representation of G (Φ, R) and give several equivalent characterisations of that group and use these characterisations in our proof.
