In algebraic geometry, given a smooth algebraic group ''G'', a ''G''-torsor or a principal ''G''-bundle ''P'' over a scheme ''X'' is a scheme (or even algebraic space) with the action of ''G'' that is locally trivial in the given Grothendieck topology in the sense that the base change along "some" covering map is the trivial torsor (''G'' acts only on the second factor). Equivalently, a ''G''-torsor ''P'' on ''X'' is a principal homogeneous space for the group scheme (i.e., acts simply transitively on .) The definition may be formulated in the sheaf-theoretic language: a sheaf ''P'' on the category of ''X''-schemes with some Grothendieck topology is a ''G''-torsor if there is a covering in the topology, called the local trivialization, such that the restriction of ''P'' to each is a trivial -torsor. A line bundle is nothing but a -bundle, and, like a line bundle, the two points of views of torsors, geometric and sheaf-theoretic, are used interchangeably (by permitting ''P'' to be a stack like an algebraic space if necessary). == Examples and basic properties == Examples *A -torsor on ''X'' is a vector bundle of rank ''n'' (i.e., a locally free sheaf) on ''X''. *If is a finite Galois extension, then is a -torsor (roughly because the Galois group acts simply transitively on the roots.) This fact is a basis for Galois descent. See integral extension for a generalization. Remark: A ''G''-torsor ''P'' over ''X'' is isomorphic to a trivial torsor if and only if is nonempty. (Proof: if there is an , then is an isomorphism.) Let ''P'' be a ''G''-torsor with a local trivialization in étale topology. A trivial torsor admits a section: thus, there are elements . Fixing such sections , we can write uniquely on with . Different choices of amount to 1-coboundaries in cohomology; that is, the define a cohomology class in the sheaf cohomology (more precisely Čech cohomology with sheaf coefficient) group . A trivial torsor corresponds to the identity element. Conversely, it is easy to see any class in defines a ''G''-torsor on ''X'', unique up to an isomorphism. If ''G'' is a connected algebraic group over a finite field , then any ''G''-bundle over is trivialy.
