An explicit realization of the similarity of the transpose of a matrix in function field.
$begingroup$
Let $K=mathbb{F}(a,b,c,d)$ be the field of rational functions in four variables over a field $mathbb{F}$. The matrix
$$ A=left( {begin{array}{cc}
a & b \ c & d end{array} } right)$$ over $K$ is conjugate to its transpose. Hence there exists an invertible matrix $P$ over $K$ such that $A^t=PAP^{-1}$. What is an explicit formula for $P$, in terms of $a,b,c,d$ ? Can we choose $P$ to have polynomial entries in $a,b,c,d$ ?

If $P$ works, then any scalar times $P$ will also work. So can't you just multiply $P$ with the product of the denominators?

An example of $P$
We may take
$$
P=begin{pmatrix} frac{a-d}b & 1 \ 1 & 0 end{pmatrix}.
$$
Then
$$
PA=begin{pmatrix} frac{a(a-d)}b + c & a \ a & bend{pmatrix}=A^TP,
$$
and $P$ is nonsingular.
Polynomial Entries
As suggested by @Jyrki Lahtonen's comment, it is possible to choose $P$ to have polynomial entries by multiplying $b$. If $$
P=begin{pmatrix} a-d & b\ b & 0 end{pmatrix}.
$$
Then we have
$$
PA=begin{pmatrix} a(a-d) + bc & ab\ ab & b^2end{pmatrix}=A^TP.
$$
