Weil's Tamagawa number conjecture for simply connected groups

About 21 years old · traced to

Let GG be the generic fibre of a semisimple group scheme over a smooth projective curve over a finite field, and let τ(G)\tau(G) denote its Tamagawa number. A group is simply connected when its fundamental group scheme is trivial.

Weil's conjecture. If GG is simply connected, then

τ(G)=1.\tau(G)=1.

This is the Tamagawa-number assertion used in the paper to relate the Tamagawa number of a semisimple group to those of associated tori. The source does not state whether the conjecture is resolved.
