The Lie algebra of type G2 is rational over its quotient by the adjoint action
Abstract
Let G be a split simple group of type G2 over a field k, and let g be its Lie algebra. Answering a question of Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Kunyavskii, Popov, and Reichstein, we show that the function field k(g) is generated by algebraically independent elements over the field of adjoint invariants k(g)G. Soit G un groupe alg\'ebrique simple et d\'eploy\'e de type G2 sur un corps k. Soit g son alg\`ebre de Lie. On d\'emontre que le corps des fonctions k(g) est transcendant pur sur le corps k(g)G des invariants adjoints. Ceci r\'epond par l'affirmative \`a une question pos\'ee par Colliot-Th\'el\`ene, Kunyavskii, Popov et Reichstein.
