Abstract

Let $F$ be a finitely generated regular field extension of transcendence degree $\geq 2$ over a perfect field $k$ . We show that the multiplicative group $F^{\times} ∕ k^{\times}$ endowed with the equivalence relation induced by algebraic dependence on $F$ over $k$ determines the isomorphism class of $F$ in a functorial way. As a special case of this result, we obtain that the isomorphism class of the graded Milnor K-ring $K_{*}^{M} (F)$ determines the isomorphism class of $F$ , when $k$ is algebraically closed or finite.
