Irreducible skew polynomials over domains

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.

A remark on skew factorization and new 𝔽4-linear codes

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.

The Norm of a Skew Polynomial

Let 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.

Combinatorial study of stable categories of graded Cohen–Macaulay modules over skew quadric hypersurfaces

In this paper, we present a new connection between representation theory of noncommutative hypersurfaces and combinatorics. Let S be a graded ($$\pm 1$$ ± 1 )-skew polynomial algebra in n variables of degree 1 and $$f =x_1^2 + \cdots +x_n^2 \in S$$ f = x 1 2 + ⋯ + x n 2 ∈ S . We prove that the stable category $$\mathsf {\underline{CM}}^{\mathbb Z}(S/(f))$$ CM ̲ Z ( S / ( f ) ) of graded maximal Cohen–Macaulay module over S/(f) can be completely computed using the four graphical operations. As a consequence, $$\mathsf {\underline{CM}}^{\mathbb Z}(S/(f))$$ CM ̲ Z ( S / ( f ) ) is equivalent to the derived category $$\mathsf {D}^{\mathsf {b}}({\mathsf {mod}}\,k^{2^r})$$ D b ( mod k 2 r ) , and this r is obtained as the nullity of a certain matrix over $${\mathbb F}_2$$ F 2 . Using the properties of Stanley–Reisner ideals, we also show that the number of irreducible components of the point scheme of S that are isomorphic to $${\mathbb P}^1$$ P 1 is less than or equal to $$\left( {\begin{array}{c}r+1\\ 2\end{array}}\right) $$ r + 1 2 .

COMPLETELY PRIME ONE-SIDED IDEALS IN SKEW POLYNOMIAL RINGS

Let R = K[x, σ] be the skew polynomial ring over a field K, where σ is an automorphism of K of finite order. We show that prime elements in R correspond to completely prime one-sided ideals – a notion introduced by Reyes in 2010. This extends the natural correspondence between prime elements and prime ideals in commutative polynomial rings.

Skew PBW extensions over symmetric rings

Our purpose in this paper is to characterize skew PBW extensions over several weak symmetric rings. As a consequence of our treatment, we extend results in the literature concerning the property of symmetry for commutative rings and skew polynomial rings.
