Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to give a constructive proof for a particular case of the no-name lemma. Let GG be a finite group, KK be a field, LL be a permutation GG-lattice and K[L]K[L] be the group algebra of LL over KK. The no-name lemma asserts that the invariant field of the quotient field of K[L]K[L], K(L)GK(L)^G is a purely transcendental extension of KGK^G. In other words, there exist y1,,yny_1, \ldots , y_n which are algebraically independent over KGK^G such that K(L)GKG(y1,,yn)K(L)^G \cong K^G(y_1, \ldots , y_n). We define elements {y1,,yn}K[L]G\lbrace y_1, \ldots, y_n \rbrace \subset K[L]^G with the desired properties, in the case when GG is the Galois group of a finite extension Gal(K/F)\mathrm{Gal}(K/F), and LL is a sign permutation GG-lattice.
