The following result due to M. Ojanguren illustrates a well-known conjecture due to J.-P. Serre and A. Grothendieck.
Theorem. Let k be a field and X be a k-smooth irreducible affine variety over k (the characteristic of k is not 2). Let E and F be two quadratic spaces over the regular function ring k[X].
If E and F are isomorphic over the fraction field k(X), then they are isomorphic locally for the Zariski topology.
The conjecture asserts, particularly, that a similar statement holds for principal G-bundles,
where G is any reductive algebraic group over the field k.
Many examples illustrating the conjecture will be presented and a “final” result will be discussed.
