The McCoy Condition on Ore Extensions

Nielsen [29 Nielsen , P. P. ( 2006 ). Semi-commutativity and the McCoy condition . J. Algebra 298 : 134 – 141 .[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] proved that all reversible rings are McCoy and gave an example of a semicommutative ring that is not right McCoy. When R is a reversible ring with an (α, δ)-condition, namely (α, δ)-compatibility, we observe that R satisfies a McCoy-type property, in the context of Ore extension R[x; α, δ], and provide rich classes of reversible (semicommutative) (α, δ)-compatible rings. It is also shown that semicommutative α-compatible rings are linearly α-skew McCoy and that linearly α-skew McCoy rings are Dedekind finite. Moreover, several extensions of skew McCoy rings and the zip property of these rings are studied.
