Abstract
Let be a ring and the polynomial ring in variables over . In this article, we consider retractions such that is either a monic monomial or . We prove that if is an integral domain, then any such retract is isomorphic to , the polynomial ring in variables over , for some . We also characterize different monomial retractions of which give the same retract.
