Abstract: Let $$ be the rational function field, and $$ an intermediate field. Then, Hilbert's fourteenth problem asks whether the $k$-algebra $A:=Lcapk[x_1,ldots,x_n]$ is finitely generated. Various counterexamples to this problem were already given, but the case $$ was open when $n=3$. In this paper, we study the problem in terms of the field-theoretic properties of $L$. We say that $L$ is minimal if the transcendence degree $r$ of $L$ over $k$ is equal to that of $A$. We show that, if $rge2$ and $L$ is minimal, then there exists $sigmain{mathopmAutolimits}_{k}k(x_1,ldots,x_{n+1})$ for which $sigma(L(x_{n+1}))$ is minimal and a counterexample to the problem. Our result implies the existence of interesting new counterexamples including one with $n=3$ and $$.
