$\mathbb A^{1}$–connected components of ruled surfaces

Abstract

A conjecture of Morel asserts that the sheaf of 𝔸1–connected components of a space is 𝔸1–invariant. Using purely algebrogeometric methods, we determine the sheaf of 𝔸1–connected components of a smooth projective surface, which is birationally ruled over a curve of genus > 0. As a consequence, we show that Morel’s conjecture holds for all smooth projective surfaces over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0.
