Abstract

Let R be a commutative finite dimensional noetherian ring or, more generally, an associative ring which satisfies one of Bass' stable range conditions. We describe a modified version of H. Maazen's work [18], yielding stability for the homology of linear groups over R. Applying W.G. Dwyer's arguments (cf. [9]) we also get stability for homology with twisted coefficients. For example, H2(GLn(R), Rn) takes on a stable value when n becomes large.
