Abstract: Let K be an arbitrary field. We will determine explicitly all the nontrivial finite groups of essential dimension one over K.

Review text

The concept of the essential dimension of a finite group \(G\) over a field \(K\), denoted by ed\(_K(G)\) was introduced by \textit{J. Buhler} and \textit{Z. Reichstein} in [Compos. Math. 106, No. 2, 159--179 (1997; Zbl 0905.12003)], where it is proved that if char \(K\) = 0 and if \(K\) contains all roots of 1, then ed\(_K(G)=1\) if and only if \(G\) is the cyclic group \(\mathbb{Z}_n\) of order \(n > 1\) or \(G\) is the dihedral group \(D_n\) where \(n\) is odd. The authors of the paper under review strengthen this result by relaxing all conditions on \(K\) and finding \textit{all} pairs \((K,G)\) for which ed\(_K(G)=1\).
