Abstract: Let $G$ be a finite group acting on $k(x_1,\mathrm{...},x_n)$, the rational function field of $n$ variables over a field $k$. The action is called a purely monomial action if $sigma\mathrm{...}{x}_j=pro{d}_{1leilen}{x}_i^{a_{ij}}$ for all $sigmainG$, for $1lejlen$ where $$. The main question is that, under what situations, the fixed field $k(x_1,\mathrm{...},x_n{)}^G$ is rational (= purely transcendental) over $k$. This rationality problem has been studied by Hajja, Kang, Hoshi, Rikuna when $nle3$. In this paper we will prove that $k(x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4{)}^G$ is rational over $k$ provided that the purely monomial action is decomposable. To prove this result, we introduce a new notion, the quasi-monomial action, which is a generalization of previous notions of multiplicative group actions. Moreover, we determine the rationality problem of purely quasi-monomial actions of $K(x,y{)}^G$ over $k$ where $k=K^G$.
