Submission: 2003, Nov 20

Let S/k be a Severi-Brauer variety defined over a field k. Let f be a Kummer automorphism of S, i.e. an automorphism of order n=dim(S)+1 with finitely many fixed points. If k contains a primitive n-th root of unity, then the field of f-invariant rational functions of S is purely transcendental over k.
