Abstract
The Serre conjecture II predicts that every torsor under a semisimple, simply connected, algebraic group over a field of cohomological dimension at most 2 and of degree of imperfection at most 1 has a rational point. We generalize this conjecture to pseudo-reductive groups and prove their equivalence. In particular, we show that every torsor under a pseudo-semisimple, simply connected group over a global function field or a non-archimedean local field always has a rational point.
