Abstract:
Let $L$ be a finitely generated extension of $K$. We call $L$ rigid over $K$ if the set of $K$-endomorphisms of $L$ is finite. If $L$ is rigid over $K$ and $x$ is transcendental over $L$, then $L$ is invariant under automorphisms of $L\left ( x \right )$ over $K$ (Theorem 2). This result is used to show that the cancellation property holds for function fields of varieties of general type in characteristic 0.References
