ℙ1 Homotopy Theory of Schemes
Abstract
We study the ℙ1-local motivic homotopy theory under the Nisnevich topology on SmS. We show that although the homotopy category ℋℙ1(−) admits standard schematic functorialities, it fails six-functor gluing, thereby obstructing a full six-functor formalism. On the unstable side, we prove that the unstable ℙ1-motivic localization preserves Nisnevich connectivity, despite the absence of an interval structure on ℙ1. Over perfect fields, we then establish the ℙ1-invariance of the higher unstable homotopy group sheaves πiℙ1 (i ≥ 1) using the Bloch-Ogus-Gabber theorem. On the stable side, we prove the stable ℙ1-connectivity theorem over fields. As a consequence, we obtain a homotopy t-structure on the stable ∞-category of ℙ1-invariant Nisnevich spectra, and deduce the strict ℙ1-invariance of stable ℙ1-homotopy group sheaves.
