Abstract: The finite subgroups of $$ are classified up to conjugation in cite{BBNWZ}; in particular, there exist $710$ non-conjugate finite groups in $$. Each finite group $G$ of $$ acts naturally on $$; thus we get a faithful $G$-lattice $M$ with $$. In this way, there are exactly $710$ such lattices. Given a $G$-lattice $M$ with $$, the group $G$ acts on the rational function field $$ by multiplicative actions, i.e. purely monomial automorphisms over $$. We are concerned with the rationality problem of the fixed field $$. A tool of our investigation is the unramified Brauer group of the field $$ over $$. A formula of the unramified Brauer group $$ for the multiplicative invariant field was found by Saltman in 1990. However, to calculate $$ for a specific multiplicatively invariant field requires additional efforts, even when the lattice $M$ is of rank equal to $4$. Theorem 1. Among the $710$ finite groups $G$, let $M$ be the associated faithful $G$-lattice with $$, there exist precisely $5$ lattices $M$ with $$. In these situations, $B_0(G)=0$ and thus $$. The { m GAP IDs} of the five groups $G$ are { m (4,12,4,12), (4,32,1,2), (4,32,3,2), (4,33,3,1), (4,33,6,1)} in { m cite{BBNWZ}} and in { m cite{GAP}}. Theorem 2. There exist $6079$ finite subgroups $G$ in $$. Let $M$ be the lattice with rank $5$ associated to each group $G$. Among these lattices precisely $46$ of them satisfy the condition $$. A similar result for lattices of rank $6$ is found also.
