I have tried the following to construct an appropriate function field:

F.<a,b>=FunctionField(QQ,2)

as a result I got

TypeError: create_key() got multiple values for keyword argument 'names'

after that I looked for the documentation but only find one variable examples. I also tried a few more versions like

F.<a,b>=FunctionField(QQ,names=('a','b'))

but did not work. Thank for any advice in this direction in advance.

This is indeed unfortunate, and the whole source code seems not to allow more than one undeterminate anyway. As a workaround, you can construct F as the fraction field of a polynomial ring:

sage: R.<a,b> = PolynomialRing(QQ) ; R
Multivariate Polynomial Ring in a, b over Rational Field
sage: F = R.fraction_field() ; F
Fraction Field of Multivariate Polynomial Ring in a, b over Rational Field
sage: a+b^2+1/b
(b^3 + a*b + 1)/b

Thank you for the workaround, it helps to compute what I need. There is a small gap at the end, I need to define a polynomial ring over the function field and factor certain polynomials over it. The error message is that it is not implemeted, but I know some factors and I could reduce the problem to a quadratic polynomial.
