Dubrovin valuation properties of skew group rings and crossed products

In this paper some conditions for a skew group ring or a crossed product to have finite weak global dimension are given.Using these results we obtain some necessary conditions and some sufficient conditions for a skew group ring or a crossed product to be a Dubrovin valuation ring.If R*G is a skew group ring, where the coefficient ring R is a commutative ring and G is a finite group, then we prove that the conditions we obtained become necessary and sufficient conditions.In particular, if R is a commutative valuation ring, then R*G is a Dubrovin valuation ring if and only if G _T=<1>,where G _T is the inertial group of R.     

Skew Group Rings which are Semi-Hereditary Orders and Prüfer Orders in Simple Artinian Rings

Let R be a commutative ring, let G be a finite group acting on R as automorphisms of R and let R * G be the skew group ring. By using the decomposition subgroups of G, the inertial subgroups of G, the properties of the coefficient ring R and the properties of the fixed subring R ^G , some necessary and sufficient conditions for R * G to be a prime Goldie ring, a semi-hereditary order in a simple Artinian ring, or a Prüfer order in a simple Artinian ring are given.     

Invariants of finite linear groups on relatively free algebras

It is shown that if G is a finite group of degree preserving automorphisms of R, the ring of n×n generic matrices over a field of characteristic zero generated by d > 1 elements, then the fixed ring R^G can never be generated by d elements unless n = 1 and G is a quasireflection group. As a consequence, for n > 1, R^G is never a generic matrix ring.     

The bounded Lie Engel property on torsion group algebras

Let F be a field of characteristic different from 2 and G a group with involution ∗. Extend the involution to the group ring FG, and write (FG)⁻ for the Lie subalgebra of FG consisting of the skew elements. We classify the torsion groups G having no elements of order 2 such that (FG)⁻ is bounded Lie Engel.     

Shephard–Todd–Chevalley Theorem for Skew Polynomial Rings

We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard–Todd–Chevalley Theorem. Let G be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring \(A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,\cdots,x_n]\). Then the fixed subring A ^G has finite global dimension if and only if G is generated by quasi-reflections. In this case the fixed subring A ^G is isomorphic to a skew polynomial ring with possibly different p _ij ’s. A version of the theorem is proved also for abelian groups acting on general quantum polynomial rings.     

On semidistributive rings

Let S be a non-commutative associative ring with an identity element and G be a finite group of ring automorhphisms of S. By exploiting Morita Theory, a bijection between subsets of SpecS and spec(S^G ) is constructed. This Morita formulation is shown to be equivalent to a much more natural definition of the bijection, one in which the strong relationship between the rings S and S^G is clearly manifest. Indeed, the bijection is shown to have implications for a number of ring-theoretic properties of rings S and S^G . One such property being prime rank. A topological treatment of the bijection using quotient Zariski topologies yields a homeomorphism which exhibits the structural similarities between S and S ^G. The final section is devoted to a special case: charS - q, q prime, and G a q-group. In this case, it is shown that a prime ideal of the skew group ring S*G is uniquely determined by its intersection with R.     

Reciprocal Polynomials and p-Group Cohomology

Let p be a prime and let G be a finite p-group. In a recent paper (Woodcock, J Pure Appl Algebra 210:193–199, 2007) we introduced a commutative graded ?-algebra R _G . This classifies, for each commutative ring R with identity element, the G-invariant commutative R-algebra multiplications on the group algebra R[G] which are cocycles (in fact coboundaries) with respect to the standard “direct sum” multiplication and have the same identity element. We show here that, up to inseparable isogeny, the “graded-commutative” mod p cohomology ring $H^\ast(G, \mathbb{F}_p)Let p be a prime and let G be a finite p-group. In a recent paper (Woodcock, J Pure Appl Algebra 210:193–199, 2007) we introduced a commutative graded ℤ-algebra R _G . This classifies, for each commutative ring R with identity element, the G-invariant commutative R-algebra multiplications on the group algebra R[G] which are cocycles (in fact coboundaries) with respect to the standard “direct sum” multiplication and have the same identity element. We show here that, up to inseparable isogeny, the “graded-commutative” mod p cohomology ring H^*(G, \mathbbF_p)H^\ast(G, \mathbb{F}_p) of G has the same spectrum as the ring of invariants of R _G mod p (R_G ?_\mathbbZ \mathbbF_p)^G(R_G \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}} \mathbb{F}_p)^G where the action of G is induced by conjugation.     

Skew inverse power series rings over a ring with projective socle

A ring R is called a right PS-ring if its socle, Soc(R _R ), is projective. Nicholson and Watters have shown that if R is a right PS-ring, then so are the polynomial ring R[x] and power series ring R[[x]]. In this paper, it is proved that, under suitable conditions, if R has a (flat) projective socle, then so does the skew inverse power series ring R[[x ^?1; α, δ]] and the skew polynomial ring R[x; α, δ], where R is an associative ring equipped with an automorphism α and an α-derivation δ. Our results extend and unify many existing results. Examples to illustrate and delimit the theory are provided.     

Semiprime Goldie centralizers

LetG be a finite group of automorphisms acting on a ringR, andR ^G={fixed points ofG}. We show that under certain conditions onR andG, whenR ^Gis semiprime Goldie then so isR. In particular, ifa∈R is invertible anda ⁿ∈Z(R), thenR ^G,withG generated by the inner automorphism determined bya, is the centralizer ofa—C _R(a). The above result withR ^Greplaced byC _R(a) is shown without the assumption thata is invertible.     

Semiprimeness,quasi-Baerness and prime radical of skew generalized power series rings

Let R be a ring, (S,≤) a strictly ordered monoid and ω:S→End(R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring R[[S,ω]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal’cev-Neumann Laurent series rings. In this paper we obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the skew generalized power series ring R[[S,ω]] to be a semiprime, prime, quasi-Baer, or Baer ring. Furthermore, we study the prime radical of a skew generalized power series ring R[[S,ω]]. Our results extend and unify many existing results. In particular, we obtain new theorems on (skew) group rings, Mal’cev-Neumann Laurent series rings and the ring of generalized power series.     

Baer and Quasi-Baer Properties of Skew Generalized Power Series Rings

Let R be a ring, (S, ≤) a strictly ordered monoid and ω: S → End(R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring R[[S, ω]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) group rings, and Mal'cev–Neumann Laurent series rings. In this article, we study relations between the (quasi-) Baer, principally quasi-Baer and principally projective properties of a ring R, and its skew generalized power series extension R[[S, ω]]. As particular cases of our general results, we obtain new theorems on (skew) group rings, Mal'cev–Neumann Laurent series rings, and the ring of generalized power series.     

Extensions of the representation modules of a prime order group

For the ring R of integers of a ramified extension of the field of p-adic numbers and a cyclic group G of prime order p we study the extensions of the additive groups of R-representations modules of G by the group G.     

Automorphism Group of q-Quantum Torus Lie Algebra with q a Root of Unity*

Let α be an automorphism of a ring R. We study the skew Armendariz of Laurent series type rings (α-LA rings), as a generalization of the standard Armendariz condition from polynomials to skew Laurent series. We study on the relationship between the Baerness and p.p. property of a ring R and these of the skew Laurent series ring R[[x, x ^?1; α]], in case R is an α-LA ring. Moreover, we prove that for an α-weakly rigid ring R, R[[x, x ^?1; α]] is a left p.q.-Baer ring if and only if R is left p.q.-Baer and every countable subset of S _?(R) has a generalized countable join in R. Various types of examples of α-LA rings are provided.

Normalizers of Chevalley Groups of Type G 2 Over Local Rings Without 1/2

In this paper, we prove that every element of the linear group GL₁₄(R) normalizing the Chevalley group of type G ₂ over a commutative local ring R without 1/2 belongs to this group up to some multiplier. This allows us to improve our classification of automorphisms of these Chevalley groups showing that an automorphism-conjugation can be replaced by an inner automorphism. Therefore, it is proved that every automorphism of a Chevalley group of type G ₂ over a local ring without 1/2 is a composition of a ring and an inner automorphisms.     

Structure of Abelian rings

Let R be a ring with identity. We use J(R); G(R); and X(R) to denote the Jacobson radical, the group of all units, and the set of all nonzero nonunits in R; respectively. A ring is said to be Abelian if every idempotent is central. It is shown, for an Abelian ring R and an idempotent-lifting ideal N ? J(R) of R; that R has a complete set of primitive idempotents if and only if R/N has a complete set of primitive idempotents. The structure of an Abelian ring R is completely determined in relation with the local property when X(R) is a union of 2; 3; 4; and 5 orbits under the left regular action on X(R) by G(R): For a semiperfect ring R which is not local, it is shown that if G(R) is a cyclic group with 2 ∈ G(R); then R is finite. We lastly consider two sorts of conditions for G(R) to be an Abelian group.
