Abstract: Let K be any field and G be a finite group. Let G act on the rational function field K(xg:ginG) by K-automorphisms defined by gcdotxh=xgh for any g,hinG. Noether's problem asks whether the fixed field K(G)=K(xg:ginG)G is rational (=purely transcendental) over K. We will prove that if G is a non-abelian p-group of order pn (nge3) containing a cyclic subgroup of index p2 and K is any field containing a primitive pn2-th root of unity, then K(G) is rational over K. As a corollary, if G is a non-abelian p-group of order p3 and K is a field containing a primitive p-th root of unity, then K(G) is rational.
