Feb 4, 2013 at 9:09 comment added Damian Rössler @Lvovski: on second thoughts: is the generic fibre of the morphism $\tilde{X}\to{\bf P}^2$ also a projective space over the function field of ${\bf P}^2$ (I don't think so) ? In order to be a counterexample to Rami's statement, that must hold too.
Feb 3, 2013 at 18:00 comment added Damian Rössler The basic reference for Severi-Brauer schemes is Grothendieck, "Le groupe de Brauer I" in "Dix exposés sur la cohomologie des schémas" (a collection of essays published by North-Holland). @Lvovski: thank you for the interesting example.
Feb 3, 2013 at 16:51 comment added Calc @Rami. Thanks a lot for pointing out the other related question. @Damian. What reference do you recommend for Severi-Brauer schemes?
Feb 3, 2013 at 16:19 comment added Serge Lvovski @Damian: no, this is false even if fibers are actually projective spaces (over an algebraically closed field). A standard example: if $X\subset\mathbb P^4$ is a smooth cubic, then, projecting it from a line $\ell\subset X$ to $\mathbb P^2$, we obtain a morphism $\tilde X\to\mathbb P^2$ (where $\tilde X$ is the blow-up of $X$ at $\ell$). Over a Zariski open subset of $\mathbb P^2$, all its fibers are smooth plane conics (so they are isomorphic to $\mathbb P^1$). If it were a locally trivial bundle in Zariski topology, $X$ would be rational, which is not the case.
Feb 3, 2013 at 14:34 comment added Damian Rössler ...although: what I said in my comment applies if the fibres are geometrically projective spaces. Maybe what you say works if the fibres are actually projective spaces.
Feb 3, 2013 at 14:27 comment added Damian Rössler @Rami: In the case of projective spaces, it is only true for étale localisation (not Zariski). Such fibrations are called Severi-Brauer schemes.
Feb 3, 2013 at 2:10 comment added Rami If instad of the affine space you would have the protective one, than I think that the answer s positive. If you are interested I can try to write a proof
Feb 2, 2013 at 23:07 comment added Rami Did you check Angelo's answer to mathoverflow.net/questions/58009/non-locally-trivial-an-bundles ? It seems to be very related to your question
