Abstract

We deduce the relative version of the equivalences relating the relative Local-Global Principle and the Normality of the relative Elementary subgroups of the traditional classical groups; viz. general linear, symplectic and orthogonal groups. This generalises our previous result for the absolute case; cf. [7].
