A problem about the weak Hilbert property

In this paper, we prove the main result: Let both (K, S) and (K ^*,S ^*) be preordered fields, and let (K ^*,S ^*) be a finitely generated extension of (K, S). IfK ^* is transcendental overK, then (K ^*,S ^*) has the weak Hilbert property. This result answers negatively an open problem posed by the author in reference 1]. Moreover, some results on the weak Hilbert property are established. Project supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China
