Abstract

Let kk be a field of characteristic different from 2. Let GG be a simply connected or adjoint semisimple algebraic kk-group which does not contain a simple factor of type E8E_8 and such that every exceptional simple factor of type other than G2G_2 is quasisplit. We show that if a principal homogeneous space under GG over kk admits a zero cycle of degree 1 then it has a kk-rational point.
