On the motivic class of an algebraic group

Abstract

Let FF be a field of characteristic zero admitting a biquadratic field extension. We give an example of a torus GG over FF whose classifying stack BGBG is stably rational and such that {BG}{G}1\{BG\}\{G\}\neq 1 in the Grothendieck ring of algebraic stacks over FF. We also give an example of a finite \'etale group scheme AA over FF such that BABA is stably rational and {BA}1\{BA\}\neq 1.
