Nisnevich's conjecture on torsors over punctured regular local rings

Let RR be a regular local ring of dimension d1d\geq 1, let mm be its maximal ideal, and let umm2u\in m\setminus m^2. Let GG be a strictly isotropic reductive group over RR. Nisnevich's conjecture.

HZar1(Ru,G)=1.H^1_{Zar}(R_u,G)=1.

Nisnevich established the conjecture when dimR=2\dim R=2 and GG is quasi-split. Fedorov proved it when RR contains an infinite field, and Česnavičius extended this to finite fields and to the case where only GR/uG_{R/u} is strictly isotropic; the equicharacteristic case is completely settled, while the full mixed-characteristic statement remains open.
