Abstract:
A proof of the Grothendieck–Serre conjecture on principal bundles
over a semi-local regular ring containing an infinite field is given in [1].
That proof is heavily based on Theorem 1.0.3 stated below
in the introduction and proved in the present paper.
Theorem 1.0.3 itself is a consequence of two purity theorems 1.0.1
and 1.0.2 which are of completely independent interest and which are proved below.
The purity theorem 1.0.1 covers all the known results of this shape
and looks like a final one.
Keywords:reductive group schemes, principal bundles, Grothendieck–Serre conjecture.
