A. Ducros, HASSE PRINCIPAL HOMOGENEOUS SPACES UNDER CLASSICAL-GROUPS ON A FIELD OF VIRTUAL COHOMOLOGICAL DIMENSION AT MOST ONE, Manuscripta mathematica, 89(3), 1996, pp. 335-354
Let k be a perfect field of virtual cohomological dimension at most 1.
Let G be a semi-simple, simply connected classical group. In this pap
er it is proved that a principal homogeneous space under G which is tr
ivial over every real closure of k is trivial.
