Abstract Let S be a domain and R = S[t; σ, δ] a skew polynomial ring, where σ is an injective endomorphism of S and δ a left σ -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials f ∈ R of degree less or equal to four to be irreducible. We apply them to low degree polynomials in quantized Weyl algebras and the quantum planes. We also consider f(t) = tm − a ∈ R.

AbstractLet D be a unital associative division ring and D[t, σ, δ] be a skew polynomial ring, where σ is an endomorphism of D and δ a left σ-derivation. For each f ϵ D[t, σ, δ] of degree m > 1 with a unit as leading coefficient, there exists a unital nonassociative algebra whose behaviour reflects the properties of f. These algebras yield canonical examples of right division algebras when f is irreducible. The structure of their right nucleus depends on the choice of f. In the classical literature, this nucleus appears as the eigenspace of f and is used to investigate the irreducible factors of f. We give necessary and sufficient criteria for skew polynomials of low degree to be irreducible. These yield examples of new division algebras Sf.

AbstractLet D be a finite-dimensional division algebra over its center and R = D[t;σ,δ] a skew polynomial ring. Under certain assumptions on δ and σ, the ring of central quotients D(t;σ,δ) = {f/g|f ∈ D[t;σ,δ],g ∈ C(D[t;σ,δ])} of D[t;σ,δ] is a central simple algebra with reduced norm N. We calculate the norm N(f) for some skew polynomials f ∈ R and investigate when and how the reducibility of N(f) reflects the reducibility of f.

Abstract Let k be a field, let {\mathfrak{A}_{1}} be the k-algebra {k[x_{1}^{\pm 1},\dots,x_{s}^{\pm 1}]} of Laurent polynomials in {x_{1},\dots,x_{s}} , and let {\mathfrak{A}_{2}} be the k-algebra {k[x,y]} of polynomials in the commutative indeterminates x and y. Let {\sigma_{1}} be the monomial k-automorphism of {\mathfrak{A}_{1}} given by {A=(a_{i,j})\in GL_{s}(\mathbb{Z})} and {\sigma_{1}(x_{i})=\prod_{j=1}^{s}x_{j}^{a_{i,j}}} , {1\leq i\leq s} , and let {\sigma_{2}\in{\mathrm{Aut}}_{k}(k[x,y])} . Let {D_{i}} , {1\leq i\leq 2} , be the ring of fractions of the skew polynomial ring {\mathfrak{A}_{i}[X;\sigma_{i}]} , and let {D_{i}^{\bullet}} be its multiplicative group. Under a mild restriction for {D_{1}} , and in general for {D_{2}} , we show that {D_{i}^{\bullet}} , {1\leq i\leq 2} , contains a free subgroup. If {i=1} and {s=2} , we show that a noncentral normal subgroup N of {D_{1}^{\bullet}} contains a free subgroup.

Nine new [Formula: see text] linear codes with lengths [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] that improve previously best known parameters are constructed. By modifying these codes, another 17 new codes are obtained. It is conjectured that the complete set of factors of [Formula: see text] can be derived from the factors of [Formula: see text] for even values of [Formula: see text] in the skew polynomial ring [Formula: see text]. It is further shown that the [Formula: see text] code obtained is linearly complementary dual.

AbstractWe provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a skew polynomial ring of derivation type to be semiprimitive when the base ring has no nonzero nil ideals. This extends existing results on the Jacobson radical of skew polynomial rings of derivation type.

AbstractWe consider separably closed fields of characteristic p > 0 and fixed imperfection degree as modules over a skew polynomial ring. We axiomatize the corresponding theory and we show that it is complete and that it admits quantifier elimination in the usual module language augmented with additive functions which are the analog of the p-component functions.

Antoine studied the structure of the set of nilpotent elements in Armendariz rings and introduced the concept of nil-Armendariz property as a generalization. Hong et al. studied Armendariz property on skew polynomial rings and introduced the notion of an α-Armendariz ring, where α is a ring monomorphism. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the set of α-nilpotent elements in α-Armendariz rings and introduce an α-nil-Armendariz ring. We examine the set of [Formula: see text]-nilpotent elements in a skew polynomial ring R[x;α], where [Formula: see text] is the monomorphism induced by the monomorphism α of an α-Armendariz ring R. We prove that every polynomial with α-nilpotent coefficients in a ring R is [Formula: see text]-nilpotent when R is of bounded index of α-nilpotency, and moreover, R is shown to be α-nil-Armendariz in this situation. We also characterize the structure of the set of α-nilpotent elements in α-nil-Armendariz rings, and investigate the relations between α-(nil-)Armendariz property and other standard ring theoretic properties.

AbstractThe characterization of a separable polynomial over an indecomposable commutative ring (with no idempotents but 0 and 1) in terms of the discriminant proved by G. J. Janusz is generalized to a skew polynomial ring R [ X, ρ] over a not necessarily commutative ring R where ρ is an automorphism of R with a finite order. 1980 Mathematics subject classification (Amer. Math. Soc.): 16 A 05.
