This paper arises in the attempt to solve the following problem related to the Zariski Problem. Let A be a polynomial ring in three variables over a field, . Suppose there is a subring B of A such that kB and there is variable t over B such that B[t] = A. Then is it true that B is a polynomial ring over k?
