The Lie algebra of type G2 is rational over its quotient by the adjoint action
[Rationalité de lʼalgèbre de Lie de type G2 sur son quotient par lʼaction adjointe]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 351 (2013) no. 23-24, pp. 871-875.

Soit G un groupe algébrique simple et déployé de type G2 sur un corps k. Soit g son algèbre de Lie. On démontre que le corps des fonctions k(g) est transcendant pur sur le corps k(g)G des invariants adjoints. Ceci répond par lʼaffirmative à une question posée par J.-L. Colliot-Thélène, B. Kunyavskiĭ, V.L. Popov et Z. Reichstein.

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 J.-L. Colliot-Thélène, B. Kunyavskiĭ, V.L. Popov, and Z. Reichstein, we show that the function field k(g) is generated by algebraically independent elements over the field of adjoint invariants k(g)G.
