Abstract

Let GG be a subgroup of SnS_{n}, the symmetric group of degree nn. For any field kk, GG acts naturally on the rational function field k(x1,,xn)k(x_{1},\cdots,x_{n}) via kk-automorphisms defined by σxi:=xσi\sigma\cdot x_{i}:=x_{\sigma\cdot i} for any σG\sigma\in G and 1in1\leq i\leq n. In this article, we will show that if GG is a solvable transitive subgroup of S14S_{14} and char(k)=7\text{char}(k)=7, then the fixed subfield k(x1,,x14)Gk(x_{1},\cdots,x_{14})^{G} is rational (i.e., purely transcendental) over kk. In proving the above theorem, we rely on the Kuniyoshi-Gasch\"utz Theorem or some ideas in its proof.
