Abstract:
In the present paper we characterise $\bigwedge^n(\operatorname{GL}(n,R))$
over any commutative ring $R$ as the connected component
of the stabiliser of Plücker ideal. This folk theorem is
classically known for algebraically closed fields and should
be also well-known in general. However, we are not aware of any
obvious reference, so we produce a detailed proof which follows
a general scheme developed by W. C. Waterhouse. The present paper
is a technical preliminary for a subsequent paper, where we
construct decomposition of transvections in polyvector
representations of $\operatorname{GL}_n$.
