Irreducible skew polynomials over domains

Rings and Algebras 2021-04-22 v2

Abstract

Let SS be a domain and R=S[t;σ,δ]R=S[t;\sigma,\delta] a skew polynomial ring, where σ\sigma is an injective endomorphism of SS and δ\delta a left σ\sigma -derivation. We give criteria for skew polynomials fRf\in 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)=tmaRf(t)=t^m-a\in R.
