The structure of the groups SL(4,R) and GL(4,R) and their universal cover− ing groups SL(4,R) and GL(4,R), respectively, and Lie algebras sl(4,R) and gl(4,R), respectively, are studied. The parabolic subgroups and subalgebras are identified and the cuspidal parabolic subgroups singled out. The Iwasawa and Bruhat decompositions are given explicitly. All elementary representations (ER) of SL(4,R) are explicitly given in two equivalent realizations. Using the preceding detailed structural analysis the SL(4,R) constructions are used for the explicit realization of all ER of SL(4,R), GL(4,R), and GL(4,R). The results shall be applied (among other things) elsewhere for the construction of all irreducible representations of the above groups.
