Abstract

Let GG be a finite subgroup of Autk(K(x1,,xn))\mathrm{Aut}_k(K(x_1, \ldots, x_n)) where K/kK/k is a finite field extension and K(x1,,xn)K(x_1,\ldots,x_n) is the rational function field with nn variables over KK. The action of GG on K(x1,,xn)K(x_1, \ldots, x_n) is called quasi-monomial if it satisfies the following three conditions (i) σ(K)K\sigma(K)\subset K for any σG\sigma\in G; (ii) KG=kK^G=k where KGK^G is the fixed field under the action of GG; (iii) for any σG\sigma\in G and 1jn1 \leq j \leq n, σ(xj)=cj(σ)i=1nxiaij\sigma(x_j)=c_j(\sigma)\prod_{i=1}^n x_i^{a_{ij}} where cj(σ)K×c_j(\sigma)\in K^\times and [ai,j]1i,jnGLn(Z)[a_{i,j}]_{1\le i,j \le n} \in GL_n(\mathbb{Z}). A quasi-monomial action is called purely quasi-monomial if cj(σ)=1c_j(\sigma)=1 for any σG\sigma \in G, any 1jn1\le j\le n. When k=Kk=K, a quasi-monomial action is called monomial. The main problem is that, under what situations, K(x1,,xn)GK(x_1,\ldots,x_n)^G is rational (= purely transcendental) over kk. For n=1n=1, the rationality problem was solved by Hoshi, Kang and Kitayama. For n=2n=2, the problem was solved by Hajja when the action is monomial, by Voskresenskii when the action is faithful on KK and purely quasi-monomial, which is equivalent to the rationality problem of nn-dimensional algebraic kk-tori which split over KK, and by Hoshi, Kang and Kitayama when the action is purely quasi-monomial. For n=3n=3, the problem was solved by Hajja, Kang, Hoshi and Rikuna when the action is purely monomial, by Hoshi, Kitayama and Yamasaki when the action is monomial except for one case and by Kunyavskii when the action is faithful on KK and purely quasi-monomial. In this paper, we determine the rationality when n=3n=3 and the action is purely quasi-monomial except for few cases. As an application, we will show the rationality of some 55-dimensional purely monomial actions which are decomposable.
