Abstract

Let kk be a field of characteristic zero and BB a commutative integral domain that is also a finitely generated kk-algebra. It is well known that if kk is algebraically closed and the "Field Makar-Limanov" invariant FML(B)(B) is equal to kk, then BB is unirational over kk. This article shows that, when kk is not assumed to be algebraically closed, the condition FML(B)=k(B)=k implies that there exists a nonempty Zariski-open subset UU of Spec(B)(B) with the following property: for each prime ideal pU\mathfrak{p} \in U, the κ(p)\kappa(\mathfrak{p})-algebra κ(p)kB\kappa(\mathfrak{p}) \otimes_k B can be embedded in a polynomial ring in nn variables over κ(p)\kappa(\mathfrak{p}), where n=dimBn=\dim B and κ(p)=Bp/pBp\kappa(\mathfrak{p}) = B_{\mathfrak{p}}/{\mathfrak{p}}B_{\mathfrak{p}}.
