Abstract
Let be any field, be a finite group acing on the rational function field by for any . Define . Noether's problem asks whether is rational (= purely transcendental) over . It is known that, if is rational over , then where is the unramified Brauer group of over . Bogomolov showed that, if is a -group of order , then . This result was disproved by Moravec for by computer calculations. We will prove the following theorem. Theorem. Let be any odd prime number, be a group of order . Then if and only if belongs to the isoclinism family in R. James's classification of groups of order .
