Proof of the Grothendieck-Serre conjecture on principal bundles over regular local rings containing a field

Let R be a regular semi-local domain, containing a field. Let G be a reductive group scheme over R. We prove that a principal G-bundle over R is trivial, if it is trivial over the fraction field of R. If the regular semi-local domain R contains an infinite field this result is proved in a joint work with R. Fedorov. The result has the following corollary: let X be a smooth affine irreducible algebraic variety over a field K and let G be a reductive group over K. Any two principle G-bundles over X, which are isomorphic over the generic point of X, are isomorphic locally for Zariski topology on X.
