Let $R \subseteq \mathbb{C}(x,y)$ and assume that $R=\mathbb{C}(u,v)$, where $u,v \in \mathbb{C}[x,y]$ are algebraically independent over $\mathbb{C}$. Here $\mathbb{N}$ includes $0$. > Assume that $R$ satisfies the following 'rare' property: For every monomial $x^iy^j$, $i \in \mathbb{N}$, $j \in \mathbb{N}$ (except the case $i=j=0$, for which we assume nothing), we have $\mathbb{C}(u,v,x^iy^j)=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$. **Question:** Is it true that $R=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$? I am not able to find a counterexample, but perhaps there is such. I do not mind to further assume that $x+y$ also satisfies $\mathbb{C}(u,v,x+y)=\mathbb{C}(x,y)$. Any help is welcome! Thank you very much.
