Multiplicative Invariant Fields of Dimension \le 6
Abstract
The finite subgroups of are classified up to conjugation in \cite{BBNWZ}; in particular, there exist non-conjugate finite groups in . Each finite group of acts naturally on ; thus we get a faithful -lattice with {\rm rank}_\bm{Z} M=4. In this way, there are exactly such lattices. Given a -lattice with {\rm rank}_\bm{Z} M=4, the group acts on the rational function field by multiplicative actions, i.e. purely monomial automorphisms over . We are concerned with the rationality problem of the fixed field . A tool of our investigation is the unramified Brauer group of the field over . A formula of the unramified Brauer group for the multiplicative invariant field was found by Saltman in 1990. However, to calculate for a specific multiplicatively invariant field requires additional efforts, even when the lattice is of rank equal to . Theorem 1. Among the finite groups , let be the associated faithful -lattice with {\rm rank}_\bm{Z} M=4, there exist precisely lattices with . In these situations, and thus . The {\rm GAP IDs} of the five groups are {\rm (4,12,4,12), (4,32,1,2), (4,32,3,2), (4,33,3,1), (4,33,6,1)} in {\rm \cite{BBNWZ}} and in {\rm \cite{GAP}}. Theorem 2. There exist finite subgroups in . Let be the lattice with rank associated to each group . Among these lattices precisely of them satisfy the condition . A similar result for lattices of rank is found also.
