Morel's stable A1\mathbb{A}^1-connectivity conjecture

Let SS be a regular noetherian scheme, and let n0n\geqslant 0 be an integer. For any nn-connective pointed space EPNis(SmS)E\in\mathcal{P}_{\operatorname{Nis}}(\operatorname{Sm}_S)_*, the motivic spectrum LmotESH(S)L_{\operatorname{mot}}E\in\operatorname{SH}(S) is nn-connective.

Morel's stable A1\mathbb{A}^1-connectivity conjecture. Under these hypotheses, LmotEL_{\operatorname{mot}}E is nn-connective.

This conjecture concerns preservation of connectivity by motivic localisation in the stable setting. It is refuted in higher-dimensional cases: Ayoub exhibited counterexamples when SS is a scheme of higher dimension and explained why regularity should not control stable A1\mathbb{A}^1-connectivity.
