𝔸¹-connectedness in reductive algebraic groups

Abstract: Using sheaves of A 1 -connected components, we prove that the Morel-Voevodsky singular construction on a reductive algebraic group fails to be A 1 -local if the group does not satisfy suitable isotropy hypotheses. As a consequence, we show the failure of A 1 -invariance of torsors for such groups on smooth affine schemes over infinite perfect fields. We also characterize A 1connected reductive algebraic groups over a field of characteristic 0.

“…, t n ), but this follows immediately from the fact that a field has no nontrivial Nisnevich covering sieves. Remark 3.3.8 At least if k is an infinite perfect field, Theorem 3.3.7 admits a converse: if G is a reductive k-group such that H 1 Nis (−, G) is A 1 -invariant on Sm aff k , then G is isotropic, see Balwe and Sawant [14,Theorem 1]. In fact, for G reductive, the following three conditions are equivalent:…”

“…A result of Borel-Tits implies in this case that SpGqpkq » Gpkq (see [4,Lemma 3.7] for details). However, one has the following result (see [4,Theorem 4.2], [5,Theorem 3.6]): if G is a semisimple, simply connected group over an infinite perfect field k which does not satisfy the above isotropy hypothesis, then one has canonical isomorphisms π A 1 0 pGqpkq » S 2 pGqpkq » Gpkq{R. It is worthwhile to mention here that we do not yet know whether π A 1 0 pGq agrees with S 2 pGq as a sheaf.…”

“…We now briefly discuss the case of non-split, semisimple algebraic groups. As mentioned in Remark 5, the sheaf π A 1 1 (G) depends upon the A 1 -connected component of the neutral element of G. Note that at least over a field of characteristic 0, a reductive algebraic group G is A 1 -connected if and only if G is semisimple, simply connected and every almost k-simple factor of G is R-trivial [4,Theorem 5.2]. Using this criterion, one can see that over special classes of fields (such as local fields and global fields) isotropic, semisimple, simply connected groups are A 1 -connected (see [14] for a survey of known positive results and a counterexample in general due to Platonov).…”
