Abstract: We establish a one-to-one correspondence between rational multiplicative group actions on an algebraic variety

X

and derivations

p a r t i a l c o l o n K_{X} o K_{X}

of the field of fractions

K_{X}

of

X

satisfying that there exists a generating set

{a_{i}}_{i i n I}

of

K_{X}

as a field such that

p a r t i a l (a_{i}) = l a m b d a_{i} a_{i}

with

l a m b d a_{i} i n m a t h b b Z

for all

i i n I

. We call such derivations rational semisimple. Furthermore, we also prove the existence of a rational slice for every rational semisimple derivation, i.e., an element

s i n K_{X}

such that

p a r t i a l (s) = s

. By analogy with the case of additive group actions case, we prove that

K_{X} s i m e q K_{X}^{m a t h b b G_{m}} (s)

and that under this isomorphism the derivation

p a r t i a l

is given by

p a r t i a l = s f r a c d d s

. Here,

K_{X}^{m a t h b b G_{m}}

is the field of invariant of the

m a t h b b G_{m}

-action.
