Affine representability results in \(\mathbb A^1\)-homotopy theory. II: Principal bundles and homogeneous spaces (Q680305)

This paper is the second one of a series where the authors continue to work on the theme of their previous paper [Duke Math. J. 166, No. 10, 1923--1953 (2017; Zbl 1401.14118)]. Their aim is to extend the relation between vector bundles over smooth affine schemes and the general linear group (or Grassmannians) in the (unstable) \(\mathbb{A}^1\)-homotopy category established in loc. cit. to more general group schemes as well as homogeneous spaces. In Theorem 2.3.5, they extend the affine representability result in loc. cit. to general group schemes using a similar method. In Theorem 2.4.2, they prove the affine representability for homogeneous spaces. In Theorem 3.3.7, they prove an analogue of the Bass-Quillen conjecture for isotropic reductive algebraic groups over infinite fields (see Definition 3.3.5). They find several applications of these results such as oriented bundles, symplectic bundles, affine quadrics \(Q_{2n-1}\) and nonstable \(K\)-theory.
