The Dolgachev-Weisfeiler affine-fibration conjecture

Corollary 7.1: for the fourfold X=Spec AX=\mathrm{Spec}\,A of the cancellation counterexample, the maps π:X→A1\pi:X\to\mathbb A^1 (given by pp) and ρ=(p,H):A5→A2\rho=(p,H):\mathbb A^5\to\mathbb A^2 are smooth surjective morphisms of relative dimension three whose fiber over every point is A3\mathbb A^3 over the residue field, yet neither is Zariski-locally trivial. Local triviality would make AA a locally polynomial algebra over C[p]\mathbb C[p] and hence, by Bass-Connell-Wright and Quillen-Suslin, a polynomial ring, contradicting Theorem 1.1. So the conjecture fails in relative dimension three over the smooth bases A1\mathbb A^1 and A2\mathbb A^2. Relative dimension two is not addressed.
