Abstract
Let A be an Azumaya algebra of constant rank n 2 over a Hensel pair (R, I) where R is a semilocal ring with n invertible in R. Then the reduced Whitehead group SK1(A) coincides with its reduction SK1(A/I A). This generalizes a result of Hazrat (J Algebra 305:687–703, 2006) to non-local Henselian rings.
