Abstract
Let be an odd prime and be a nonabelian group of order with the presentation where . Let be a field containing a primitive -th root of unity and act on the rational function field by for all . In this note, we prove that the fixed field is rational over . As a corollary, we prove that if contains a primitive -th root of unity and is a nonabelian group of order generated by three elements, then is rational over .
