Let H be a simple algebraic group of type F_4 over R such that H_K is the automorphism group of a 27-dimensional Jordan algebra which is a first Tits construction. If char K is not 2, this means precisely that the f_3 invariant of H_K is trivial. We prove that if an H-torsor is rationally trivial, then it is trivial over R. This result is a particular case of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture. It continues the recent series of papers by I. Panin, N.Vavilov and the authors, and complements the result of V. Chernousov on the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture for groups of type F_4 with trivial g_3 invariant.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-11-16T20:18:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "grothendieck-serre conjecture", "infinite perfect field", "simple algebraic group", "first tits construction", "semi-local regular" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0911.3132P" } } }
