Totaro's question on zero-cycles on torsors (Q1700521)

Let \(G\) be a smooth connected linear algebraic group, and let \(X\) be a \(G\)-torsor. \textit{J.-P. Serre} [Galois cohomology. Transl. from the French by Patrick Ion. Berlin: Springer (1997; Zbl 0902.12004)] asked whether the existence of a zero-cycle of degree 1 implies the existence of a rational point. \textit{B. Totaro} [Duke Math. J. 121, No. 3, 425--455 (2004; Zbl 1048.11031)] asked whether the existence of a zero-cycle of degree \(d \geq 1 \) implies the existence of a closed étale point of degree dividing \(d\). While the literature contains affirmative answers in some special cases, the author gives examples to show that the answer is negative in general. Serre's question is still open.
