Rationality problem for transitive subgroups of S8

  • Peking University

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

For any field K and any transitive subgroup G of S8, let G act naturally on K(x1,…,x8) by permuting the variables. We prove that under some minor conditions K(x1,…,x8)G is always K-rational except G is A8 or G is isomorphic to PGL(2,7). We pay special attentions on the characteristic 2 cases.
