Abstract

It is proved that if X is a smooth affine curve over a field F of characteristic ≠ℓ, then the group SK1(X)/ℓ SK1(X) is isomorphic to a subgroup of the étale cohomology group Het3(X,ΜeF{cyrillic}2) and if F is algebraically closed, then SK1(X) is a uniquely divisible group. The following cancellation theorem is obtained from results about SK1 for curves: If X is a normal affine variety of dimension n over a field F, and if char F > n and C.d.e(F)≤1 for any prime ℓ>/n then any stably trivial vector bundle of rank n over X is trivial.
