Abstract

We study zeros of polynomials in the multivariate skew polynomial ring D[x1,,xn;σ]D[x_1,\ldots,x_n; \sigma], where σ\sigma is an automorphism of a division ring DD. We prove a generalization of Alon's celebrated Combinatorial Nullstellensatz for such polynomials. In the case where DD is a finite field, we prove skew analogues of the Chevalley--Warning theorem, Ax's Lemma, and the weak case of Terjanian's Finitesatz.
