The machinery of framed (pre)sheaves was developed by Voevodsky [V1]. Based on the theory, framed motives of algebraic varieties are introduced and studied in [GP1]. An analog of Voevodsky's Cancellation Theorem [V1] is proved in this paper for framed motives stating that a natural map of framed $S^1$-spectra $$M_{fr}(X)(n)\to\underline{\textrm{Hom}}(\mathbb G,M_{fr}(X)(n+1)),\quad n\geq 0,$$ is a schemewise stable equivalence, where $M_{fr}(X)(n)$ is the $n$th twisted framed motive of $X$. This result is also necessary for the proof of the main theorem of [GP1] computing fibrant resolutions of suspension $\mathbb P^1$-spectra $\Sigma^\infty_{\mathbb P^1}X_+$ with $X$ a smooth algebraic variety. The Cancellation Theorem for framed motives is reduced to the Cancellation Theorem for linear framed motives stating that the natural map of complexes of abelian groups \[ \mathbb ZF(\Delta^\bullet \times X,Y) \to \mathbb ZF((\Delta^\bullet \times X)\wedge (\mathbb G_m,1),Y\wedge (\mathbb G_m,1)),\quad X,Y\in Sm/k, \] is a quasi-isomorphism, where $\mathbb ZF(X,Y)$ is the group of stable linear framed correspondences in the sense of [GP1]., Comment: This is the final revised version; accepted by Advances Math

Let k be a field of characteristic zero, and let G be a split simple algebraic group of type G2 over k. We prove that the functor R↦He´t1(R,G) of G-torsors satisfies purity for regular local rings containing k. To cite this article: V. Chernousov, I. Panin, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I 345 (2007).

In the following paper we introduce the notion of orientable functor (orientable cohomology theory) on the category of projective smooth schemes and define a family of transfer maps. Applying this technique, we prove that with finite coefficients orientable cohomology of a projective variety is invariant with respect to the base-change given by an extension of algebraically closed fields. This statement generalizes the classical result of Suslin, concerning algebraic K -theory of algebraically closed fields. Besides K -theory, we treat such examples of orientable functors as etale cohomology, motivic cohomology, algebraic cobordism. We also demonstrate a method to endow algebraic cobordism with multiplicative structure and Chern classes.
