Abstract
Let be a field, be a finite group, be the rational function field with the variables where . The group acts on by -automorphisms where for all . Let be the fixed field defined by for all . Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field is rational (= purely transcendental) over . Let and be positive integers and assume that there is an integer such that is of order . Define a group . We will find a sufficient condition to guarantee that is rational over . As a result, it is shown that, for any positive integer , the set is a prime number such that is rational over is of positive Dirichlet density; in particular, is an infinite set.
