Abstract
Let be a smooth affine algebraic variety over the field of complex numbers which is contractible. Then every algebraic -torsor on is algebraically trivial if is a semi-simple algebraic group. We also show that if is a smooth affine algebraic variety such that is trivial and is topologically simply connected with for and , then every algebraic -torsor on is algebraically trivial for a semi-simple algebraic group .
