Abstract

We relate base change functors of sheaves in $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy theory to group change functors from equivariant homotopy theory, and use these functors to construct elements of the Picard group of the $\mathbb{A}^1$-stable homotopy category. We also prove an analogue of the Wirthmüller isomorphism from equivariant homotopy theory in the $\mathbb{A}^1$-context.
