Abstract. In 1958, Grothendieck and Serre predicted that for a field $k$, a finite type, smooth $k$-group scheme $G$, and a smooth k-scheme $X$, every generically trivial $G-$ torsor over $X$ trivializes Zariski locally on $X$. I will overview this question and its various generalizations, as well as some of the methods that go into studying them, with a particular focus on the recently discovered relations to several purity results for cohomology.
