Abstract
Résumé

We announce that a null-homotopic holomorphic mapping from a finite dimensional reduced Stein space into ${SL}_{n} (C)$ can be factored into a finite product of unipotent matrices with holomorphic entries.

Nous annonçons qu'une application holomorphe homotopiquement triviale d'un espace de Stein réduit de dimension finie vers ${SL}_{n} (C)$ peut être factorisée par un produit fini de matrices unipotentes à coefficients holomorphes.
