In this paper we prove that all finitely generated projective modules over a polynomial ring k [T~..... T,] are free when k is a field, or more generally a principal ideal domain. This settles affirmatively a question posed by Serre in his paper FAC ([5], p. 243) which has attracted much attention (see for example [1, 2]). By an argument due to Murthy, this result follows from the assertion that any vector bundle over P~ when restricted to the affine line Spec (A [T]) is the base extension of a vector bundle over Spec (A). We reduce this assertion to the case where A is local noetherian, which has been treated by Horrocks [3].All rings are supposed to be commutative with identity unless specified otherwise. If R is a not necessarily commutative ring, we let (1+ TR IT])" denote the group of invertible elements in the polynomial ring R l, T] which are congruent to 1 modulo T.
