Abstract:
Let $R$ be a regular local ring containing a field. Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a reductive group scheme over $R$.
We prove that a principal $\mathbf{G}$-bundle over $R$ is trivial if it is trivial over the field of fractions of $R$.
In other words, if $K$ is the field of fractions of $R$, then the map
$$
H^1_{\mathrm{et}}(R,\mathbf{G})\to H^1_{\mathrm{et}}(K,\mathbf{G})
$$
of the non-Abelian cohomology pointed sets
induced by the inclusion of $R$ in $K$ has trivial kernel. This result was proved in [1] for regular
local rings $R$ containing an infinite field.
