Abstract:
The goal of the paper is to achieve - in the special case of the linear group $SL_2$ - some understanding of the relation between group homology and its $\mathbb {A}^1$-invariant replacement. We discuss some of the general properties of the $\mathbb {A}^1$-invariant group homology, such as stabilization sequences and Grothendieck-Witt module structures. Together with very precise knowledge about refined Bloch groups, these methods allow us to deduce that in general there is a rather large difference between group homology and its $\mathbb {A}^1$-invariant version. In other words, weak homotopy invariance fails for $SL_2$ over many families of non-algebraically closed fields.References
