Principal quasi-Baerness of formal power series rings

Let R be a ring. We consider left （or right） principal quasi-Baerness of the left skew formal power series ring R[[x;α]] over R where a is a ring automorphism of R. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the ring R[[x; α]] is left （or right） principally quasi-Baer. As an application we show that R[[x]] is left principally quasi-Baer if and only if R is left principally quasi- Baer and the left annihilator of the left ideal generated by any countable family of idempotents in R is generated by an idempotent.     

ON 2-PRIMAL ORE EXTENSIONS

When R is a local ring with a nilpotent maximal ideal, the Ore extension R[x; σ, δ] will or will not be 2-primal depending on the δ-stability of the maximal ideal of R. In the case where R[x; σ, δ] is 2-primal, it will satisfy an even stronger condition; in the case where R[x; σ, δ] is not 2-primal, it will fail to satisfy an even weaker condition.     

Radicals of Ore Extension of Skew Armendariz Rings

Let R be a ring with an endomorphism α and an α-derivation δ. In this article, for a skew-Armendariz ring R we study some properties of skew polynomial ring R[x; α, δ]. In particular, among other results, we show that for an (α, δ)-compatible skew-Armendariz ring R, γ(R[x; α, δ]) = γ(R)[x; α, δ] = Ni?_*(R)[x; α, δ], where γ is a radical in the class of radicals which includes the Wedderburn, lower nil, Levitzky, and upper nil radicals. We also show that several properties, including the symmetric, reversible, ZC_n, zip, and 2-primal property, transfer between R and the skew polynomial ring R[x; α, δ], in case R is (α, δ)-compatible skew-Armendariz. As a consequence we extend and unify several known results.     

Ore Extensions of Ore Domains

Let R be a right Ore domain and φ a derivation or an automorphism of R. We determine the right Martindale quotient ring of the Ore extension R[t; φ] (Theorem 1.1). As an attempt to generalize both the Weyl algebra and the quantum plane, we apply this to rings R such that k[x] ? R ? k(x), where k is a field and x is a commuting variable. The Martindale Quotient quotient ring of R[t; φ] and its automorphisms are computed. In this way, we obtain a family of non-isomorphic infinite dimensional simple domains with all their automorphisms explicitly described.     

On Rings Having McCoy-Like Conditions

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we study the behavior of the couniform (or dual Goldie) dimension of a module under various polynomial extensions. For a ring automorphism σ ∈ Aut(R), we use the notion of a σ-compatible module M _R to obtain results on the couniform dimension of the polynomial modules M[x], M[x ^?1], and M[x, x ^?1] over suitable skew extension rings.     

Radicals of Skew Polynomial and Skew Laurent Polynomial Rings Over Skew Armendariz Rings

In this note we study radicals of skew polynomial ring R[x; α] and skew Laurent polynomial ring R[x, x ^?1; α], for a skew-Armendariz ring R. In particular, among the other results, we show that for an skew-Armendariz ring R, J(R[x; α]) = N ₀(R[x; α]) = Ni?_*(R)[x; α] and J(R[x, x ^?1; α]) = N ₀(R[x, x ^?1; α]) = Ni?_*(R)[x, x ^?1; α].     

The McCoy Condition on Skew Polynomial Rings

Based on a theorem of McCoy on commutative rings, Nielsen called a ring R right McCoy if, for any nonzero polynomials f(x), g(x) over R, f(x)g(x) = 0 implies f(x)r = 0 for some 0 ≠ r ? R. In this note, we consider a skew version of these rings, called σ-skew McCoy rings, with respect to a ring endomorphism σ. When σ is the identity endomorphism, this coincides with the notion of a right McCoy ring. Basic properties of σ-skew McCoy rings are observed, and some of the known results on right McCoy rings are obtained as corollaries.     

Injective Hulls of Simple Modules over Differential Operator Rings

We study injective hulls of simple modules over differential operator rings R[θ; d], providing necessary conditions under which these modules are locally Artinian. As a consequence, we characterize Ore extensions of S = K[x][θ; σ, d] for σ a K-linear automorphism and d a K-linear σ-derivation of K[x] such that injective hulls of simple S-modules are locally Artinian.     

Annihilators of Skew Derivations with Engel Conditions on Lie Ideals

Let R be a prime ring, L a noncentral Lie ideal of R, and a ∈ R. Set [x, y]₁ = [x, y] = xy ? yx for x, y ∈ R and inductively [x, y]_k = [[x, y]_k?1, y] for k > 1. Suppose that δ is a nonzero σ-derivation of R such that a[δ(x), x]_k = 0 for all x ∈ L, where σ is an automorphism of R and k is a fixed positive integer. Then a = 0 except when char R = 2 and R ? M₂(F), the 2 × 2 matrix ring over a field F.     

Partial Skew Polynomial Rings and Goldie Rings

We prove that if R is a semiprime ring and α is a partial action of an infinite cyclic group on R, then R is right Goldie if and only if R[x; α] is right Goldie if and only if R?x; α? is right Goldie, where R[x; α] (R?x; α?) denotes the partial skew (Laurent) polynomial ring over R. In addition, R?x; α? is semiprime while R[x; α] is not necessarily semiprime.     

A Note on Lie Automorphisms,Subrings, and Lie Ideals of Prime Rings

ABSTRACT

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic not 2 or 3 and L a noncentral Lie ideal of R. Suppose that σ is a Lie automorphism on L such that σ² ? 1 is noncentral on L, where 1 is the identity map, then the subring of R generated by the set {[x ^σ, x] | x ∈ L} contains a nonzero ideal of R.     

On Lie Automorphisms,Additive Subgroups,and Lie Ideals of Prime Rings

Abstract

Let R be a prime ring of characteristic not equal to 2 or 3 and let L be a noncentral Lie ideal of R. Suppose that σ is a Lie automorphism on L such that σ⁴ is not the identity map. Then the additive subgroup generated by the set {[x ^σ, x] ∣ x ∈ L} contains a noncentral Lie ideal of R.     

On Skew Triangular Matrix Rings

For a ring R, endomorphism α of R and positive integer n we define a skew triangular matrix ring T _n (R, α). By using an ideal theory of a skew triangular matrix ring T _n (R, α) we can determine prime, primitive, maximal ideals and radicals of the ring R[x; α]/ ? x ⁿ  ?, for each positive integer n, where R[x; α] is the skew polynomial ring, and ? x ⁿ  ? is the ideal generated by x ⁿ .     

Annihilator Properties of Skew Monoid Rings

Let R be a ring with an endomorphism σ and F ∪ {0} the free monoid generated by U = {u ₁,…, u _t } with 0 added, and M a factor of F setting certain monomial in U to 0, enough so that, for some n, M ⁿ  = 0. In this article, we study various annihilator properties and a variety of conditions and related properties that the skew monoid ring R[M; σ] is inherited from R.     

On inverse skew Laurent series extensions of weakly rigid rings

Let R be a ring equipped with an automorphism α and an α-derivation δ. We studied on the relationship between the quasi Baerness and (α, δ)-quasi Baerness of a ring R and these of the inverse skew Laurent series ring R((x^?1; α, δ)), in case R is an (α, δ)-weakly rigid ring. Also we proved that for a semicommutative (α, δ)-weakly rigid ring R, R is Baer if and only if so is R((x^?1; α, δ)). Moreover for an (α, δ)-weakly rigid ring R, it is shown that the inverse skew Laurent series ring R((x^?1; α, δ)) is left p.q.-Baer if and only if R is left p.q.-Baer and every countable subset of left semicentral idempotents of R has a generalized countable join in R.     

On Induced Modules Over Ore Extensions

Abstract

Let R be a ring and S = R[x;σ, δ] its Ore extension. For an R-module M _R we investigate the uniform dimension and associated primes of the induced S-module M ? _R  S.     

Free Pairs of Bicyclic Units in the Integral Group Ring of the Dihedral Group

Hirano studied the quasi-Armendariz property of rings, and then this concept was generalized by some authors, defining quasi-Armendariz property for skew polynomial rings and monoid rings. In this article, we consider unified approach to the quasi-Armendariz property of skew power series rings and skew polynomial rings by considering the quasi-Armendariz condition in mixed extension ring [R; I][x; σ], introducing the concept of so-called (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz ring, where R is an associative ring equipped with an endomorphism σ and I is an σ-stable ideal of R. We study the ring-theoretical properties of (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz rings, and we obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz. Constructing various examples, we classify how the (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz property behaves under various ring extensions. Furthermore, we show that a number of interesting properties of an (σ, I)-quasi Armendariz ring R such as reflexive and quasi-Baer property transfer to its mixed extension ring and vice versa. In this way, we extend the well-known results about quasi-Armendariz property in ordinary polynomial rings and skew polynomial rings for this class of mixed extensions. We pay also a particular attention to quasi-Gaussian rings.     

Projective ideals of skew polynomial rings over HNP rings

Let R be an hereditary Noetherian prime ring (or, HNP-ring, for short), and let S?=?R[x;σ] be a skew polynomial ring over R with σ being an automorphism on R. The aim of the paper is to describe completely the structure of right projective ideals of R[x;σ] where R is an HNP-ring and to obtain that any right projective ideal of S is of the form X𝔟[x;σ], where X is an invertible ideal of S and 𝔟 is a σ-invariant eventually idempotent ideal of R.
