Let Fq be the field with q elements and let G = PGLn(Fq) or PSLn(Fq) act on Fq(x1,…,xn−1), the rational function field of n − 1 variables. Then Fq(x1,…,xn−1)G is purely transcendental over Fq. In fact, a set of n − 1 generators of Fq(x1,…xn−1)G, over Fq is exhibited. The case n = 2 is treated by direct computation.
