May 1, 2020 at 14:50 comment added Jason Starr You are correct, and I am incorrect. I misread the question. I thought you were just asking about surjectivity of the group homomorphism from $\textbf{GL}(R((h))$ to $\textbf{PGL}(R((h))$. Now I see that is not what you are asking. Sorry for the confusion.
Apr 30, 2020 at 10:39 comment added Ekaterina Bogdanova Dear @JasonStarr, I am confused. I've looked it up in the Serre`s book and have not find information concerning this question. To this point I am not sure that I formulated it clear enough. My question is the following. For any ring $R$ an element in $PGL(R((h)))$ defines a line bundle $L$ on $Spec(R((h)))$. I wonder whether it is true that there exists an open covering $Spec R = \cup Spec R_{f_i}$ such that pullbacks of $L$ to $Spec(R_{f_i}((h)))$ are trivial. I don't see why your ring provides a counterexample, so I will be grateful if you explain it in more details.
Apr 29, 2020 at 17:01 comment added Jason Starr I do not have a copy of the book with me, but it should be prior to the long exact sequence of non-Abelian cohomology. For instance, if $R$ equals $\mathbb{C}[x,y]/\langle y^2-x^2(x-1)\rangle$, the $n$-torsion elements in the Picard group give counterexamples.
Apr 29, 2020 at 7:16 comment added Ekaterina Bogdanova @JasonStarr thanks a lot! But could you be a little more specific? In which chapter can I find this discussion?
Apr 28, 2020 at 22:56 comment added Jason Starr Welcome new contributor. No, that morphism of Zariski sheaves is not surjective. There is a discussion of this in Serre's "Galois cohomology".
