Abstract
Let be any field, be any prime number and be a nonabelian -group of order . Consider the action of on the rational function field by for all . Let be the exponent of . Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field is rational (i.e., purely transcendental) over . In this paper, we will prove that if does not belong to the isoclinic family in James's classification \cite{Jam1980} and contains a primitive th root of unity, then is rational over . As a corollary, if is the field of complex numbers, then is rational over if and only if is not in the family . This refines a recent result of Hoshi, Kang and Kunyavskii (\cite{HKK2012}, Theorem 1.12).
