Let k be an arbitrary field. In this paper we show that in the linear case (Φ = A , ≥ 4) and even orthogonal case (Φ = D , ≥ 7, char(k) = 2) the unstable functor K2(Φ, −) possesses the A 1invariance property in the geometric case, i. e. K2(Φ, R[t]) = K2(Φ, R) for a regular ring R containing k. As a consequence, the unstable K2 groups can be represented in the unstable A 1 -homotopy category H A 1 k as fundamental groups of the simply-connected Chevalley-Demazure group schemes G(Φ, −). Our invariance result can be considered as the K2-analogue of the geometric case of Bass-Quillen conjecture. We also show for a semilocal regular k-algebra A that K2(Φ, A) embeds as a subgroup into K M 2 (Frac(A)).
