We show that if G is an anisotropic, semisimple, absolutely almost simple, simply connected group over a field k, then two elements of G over any field extension of k are R-equivalent if and only if they are A^1-equivalent. As a consequence, we see that Sing_*(G) cannot be A^1-local for such groups. This implies that the A^1-connected components of a semisimple, absolutely almost simple, simply connected group over a field k form a sheaf of abelian groups.

A^1-connectedness in reductive algebraic groups
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…
Corrigendum to “¹-connectedness in reductive algebraic groups”
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…
Strong $\mathbb A^1$-invariance of $\mathbb A^1$-connected components of reductive algebraic groups
. We show that the sheaf of A 1 -connected components of a reductive algebraic group over a perfect field is strongly A 1 -invariant. As a consequence, torsors under such groups give rise to A 1 -fiber…
Naive vs. genuine A^1-connectedness
We show that the triviality of sections of the sheaf of A^1-chain connected components of a space over finitely generated separable field extensions of the base field is not sufficient to ensure the…
𝔸1–connected components of ruled surfaces
A conjecture of Morel asserts that the sheaf of $\mathbb A^1$-connected components of a space is $\mathbb A^1$-invariant. Using purely algebro-geometric methods, we determine the sheaf of $\mathbb…
Affine representability results in 1–homotopy theory, II : Principal bundles and homogeneous spaces
We establish a relative version of the abstract "affine representability" theorem in ${\mathbb A}^1$--homotopy theory from Part I of this paper. We then prove some ${\mathbb A}^1$--invariance…
Naive $\mathbb A^1$-homotopies on ruled surfaces
We explicitly describe the $\mathbb A^1$-chain homotopy classes of morphisms from a smooth henselian local scheme into a smooth projective surface, which is birationally ruled over a curve of genus…
$\mathbb{A}^1$-connected components of blow-up of threefolds fibered over a surface
Over a perfect field, we determine the sheaf of $\mathbb{A}^1$-connected components of a class of threefolds given by the Blow-up of a variety admitting a $\mathbb{P}^1$-fibration over either an…
$R$-triviality of some exceptional groups
The main aim of this paper is to prove $R$-triviality for simple, simply connected algebraic groups with Tits index $E_{8,2}^{78}$ or $E_{7,1}^{78}$, defined over a field $k$ of arbitrary…
$${\mathbb A}^1$$ -homotopy Theory and Contractible Varieties: A Survey
We survey some topics in ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory. Our main goal is to highlight the interplay between ${\mathbb A}^1$-homotopy theory and affine algebraic geometry, focusing on the varieties…
