On Grothendieck-Serre conjecture concerning principal G-bundles over regular semi-local domains containing a finite field: II

Abstract

In three preprints [Pan1], [Pan3] and the present one we prove Grothendieck-Serre's conjecture concerning principal G-bundles over regular semi-local domains R containing a finite field (here $G$ is a reductive group scheme). The preprint [Pan1] contains main geometric presentation theorems which are necessary for that. The present preprint contains reduction of the Grothendieck--Serre's conjecture to the case of semi-simple simply-connected group schemes (see Theorem 1.0.1). The preprint [Pan3] contains a proof of that conjecture for regular semi-local domains R containing a finite field. The Grothendieck--Serre conjecture for the case of regular semi-local domains containing an infinite field is proven in joint work due to R.Fedorov and I.Panin (see [FP]). Thus the conjecture holds for regular semi-local domains containing a field. The reduction is based on two purity results (Theorem 1.0.2 and Theorem 10.0.29).
