    0 references
    Let \(G\) be an isotropic reductive algebraic group over a commutative ring \(R\). Assume that the elementary subgroup \(E(R)\) of the group of points \(G(R)\) is well defined. Then \(E(R)\) is perfect, except for the well-known case of a split reductive group of type \(C_2\) or \(G_2\).
