Abstract:
It is proved that the universal equivalence of general linear groups of order strictly greater than $2$ over local, not necessarily commutative rings with $1/2$ is equivalent to the coincidence of their orders in combination with the universal equivalence of the respective rings or the universal equivalence of one ring to the ring opposite to the other.
