Twisted multiplicative field invariants, Noether's problem, and galois extensions

David J. Saltman
- 01 Jun 1990 - 
- Vol. 131, Iss: 2, pp 535-558
TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that F(G) can be expressed as a kind of a-twisted invariant field when G is a nonsplit extension of G. The goal of this paper is to present this fact and then draw a series of conclusions using it.

The rationality problem for fields of invariants under linear algebraic groups (with special regards to the Brauer group)

TL;DR: A survey of the Brauer group of G-invariants can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the unramified Brauer groups of a function field and describe the work of Saltman and of Bogomolov.

Retract rational fields

TL;DR: The notion of retract k-rationality was introduced by Saltman in the study of Noether's problem and other rationality problems as discussed by the authors, and the retract rationality of a field is investigated in this paper.

Fields of definition for division algebras

TL;DR: In this article, the Brauer tensor product of two symbol algebras is defined over a rational extension of a finite-dimensional division algebra and the trace form of the algebra can be defined over any algebra of degree 4.

Quasi-monomial actions and some 4-dimensional rationality problems

TL;DR: In this article, a quasi-monomial action is introduced, which is a generalization of the multiplicative group action, and the rationality problem of purely monomial group actions is studied.

Negative solutions to three-dimensional monomial Noether problem

TL;DR: In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the coefficients to have a negative solution were derived by two criteria of irrationality using Galois cohomology, and the results were obtained by using two criteria for irrationality in the Noether problem.

Cohomology of Groups

TL;DR: In this paper, an advanced textbook introduces students to cohomology theory and no knowledge of homological algebra is assumed beyond what is normally taught in a first course in algebraic topology.

Separable algebras over commutative rings

TL;DR: In this paper, the brauer group and central separable algebras were used to define the six-term exact sequence of the Brauer group, and they were shown to be the basis for Galois theory.
