In this talk we prove that the chain complex of a product of G_m’s in A1-homotopy theory satisfies the rigidity property at any prime l different from the characteristic of the base field, by first explaining how the homology sheaves of this complex have a structure of “A1-sheaves with generalized transfers”, more general than the notion of A1-invariant sheaves with transfers due to V. Voevodsky. We prove that such sheaves also have the rigidity property mod l by reducing in a non-trivial way to the classical rigidity theorem. This step is one of the main technical parts of our proof of the Friedlander-Milnor conjecture for groups of small rank like SL_2 and SL_3.
