L\"uroth's theorem for fields of rational functions in infinitely many permuted variables
Abstract
L\"uroth's theorem describes the dominant maps from rational curves over a field. In this note we study those dominant rational maps from cartesian powers of geometrically irreducible varieties over a field for infinite sets that are equivariant with respect to all permutations of the factors . At least some of such maps arise as compositions , where is a dominant -map and is a group of birational automorphisms of , acting diagonally on . In characteristic 0, we show that this construction, when properly modified, gives all dominant equivariant maps from , if . For arbitrary , the results are only partial. Also, a somewhat similar problem of describing the equivariant integral schemes over of finite type is touched very briefly.
