    Let \(F\) be a field. The author studies \(H^1(\text{SL}_n(F[t]);V)\) for a rational representation \(V\) of \(\text{SL}_n\). The most definite results are for \(n=2\) and for a field \(F\) of characteristic zero. As a subsidiary problem he studies \(H_1(K,\mathbb{Z})\) where \(K\) denotes the subgroup of matrices that are congruent to the identity modulo \(t\). He conjectures that \(H_1(K,\mathbb{Z})\) is just the adjoint representation when \(F\) is finite and \(n>2\).
