A1-connectedness in reductive algebraic groups
Abstract
Using sheaves of A1-connected components, we prove that the Morel-Voevodsky singular construction on a reductive algebraic group fails to be A1-local if the group does not satisfy suitable isotropy hypotheses. As a consequence, we show the failure of A1-invariance of torsors for such groups on smooth affine schemes over infinite perfect fields. We also characterize A1-connected reductive algebraic groups over a field of characteristic 0.
