Abstract

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field. For every affine variety $X$ with dim $X\ge 7$ we construct a smooth affine variety $Y$ which is birationally equivalent to $X$ and which possesses a stably trivial but not trivial algebraic vector bundle. We give some application of this fact to the cancellation problem.
