Abstract

Our aim in this section is to compute (or describe), for any integer n0, the free strongly \({\mathbb{A}}^{1}\)-invariant sheaf generated by the n-th smash power of \({\mathbb{G}}_{m}\), in other words the free strongly \({\mathbb{A}}^{1}\)-invariant sheaf on nunits.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Observe that if \(k = {\mathbb{F}}_{2}\), \({\mathbb{A}}^{1} -\{ 0, 1\}\) has no rational point.
