Popis: In previous work, Eli Aljadeff and the first-named author attached an algebra B_H of rational fractions to each Hopf algebra H. The generalized Noether problem is the following: for which finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H is B_H the localization of a polynomial algebra? A positive answer to this question when H is the algebra of functions on a finite group implies a positive answer for the classical Noether problem for the group. We show that the generalized Noether problem has a positive answer for all pointed finite-dimensional Hopf algebras over a field of characteristic zero. We actually give a precise description of B_H for such a Hopf algebra, including a bound on the degrees of the generators. A theory of polynomial identities for comodule algebras over a Hopf algebra H gives rise to a universal comodule algebra whose subalgebra of coinvariants V_H maps injectively into B_H. In the second half of this paper, we show that B_H is a localization of V_H when again H is a pointed finite-dimensional Hopf algebra in characteristic zero. We also report on a result by Uma Iyer showing that the same localization result holds when H is the algebra of functions on a finite group.
