The Grothendieck–Serre conjecture for reductive groups

Let RR be a regular local ring containing a field kk, and let GG be a smooth reductive algebraic group over kk. Write KK for the field of fractions of RR. Grothendieck–Serre conjecture. The natural morphism

H1(R,G)H1(K,G)H^1(R,G)\to H^1(K,G)

has trivial kernel.

This conjecture predicts that a GG-torsor over a regular local ring which becomes trivial over the fraction field was already trivial over the ring. It is a central purity statement for torsors under reductive groups and is known in various cases, but the supplied source does not state a general resolution.
