Let $R$ be a ring satisfying a polynomial identity and let $\delta$ be a derivation of $R$. We show that if $N$ is the nil radical of $R$ then $\delta(N)\subseteq N$ and the Jacobson radical of $R[x;\delta]$ is equal to $N[x;\delta]$. As a…

We answer several open questions and establish new results concerning differential and skew polynomial ring extensions, with emphasis on radicals. In particular, we prove the following results. If $R$ is prime radical and $\delta$ is a…

We answer a question by Shestakov on the Jacobson radical in differential polynomial rings. We show that if R is a locally nilpotent ring with a derivation D then R[X;D] need not be Jacobson radical. We also show that J(R[X;D])\cap R is a…

Let $R$ be a $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra and $d$ be a locally nilpotent derivation on $R$. We will show that the Jacobson radical of a differential polynomial ring $R[x;d]$ equals $I[x;d]$ where $I$ is a nil ideal of $R$. This answers a question…

We study iterated differential polynomial rings over a locally nilpotent ring and show that a large class of such rings are Behrens radical. This extends results of Chebotar and Chen et al.

In commutative algebra, if $\delta$ is a locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra $K[x_1,\ldots,x_d]$ over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 and $w$ is a nonzero element of the kernel of $\delta$, then $\Delta=w\delta$ is also a…

In this article, we study Ore extensions of non-unital associative rings. We provide a characterization of simple non-unital differential polynomial rings $R[x;\delta]$, under the hypothesis that $R$ is $s$-unital and $\ker(\delta)$…

In this paper we investigate locally nilpotent derivations on the polynomial algebra in three variables over a field of characteristic zero. We introduce an iterating construction giving all locally nilpotent derivations of rank $2$. This…

For a polynomial $u(x)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $r\in\mathbb{Z}$, we consider the orbit of $u(x)$ at $r$, $\mathcal{O}_u(r):=\{u(r),u(u(r)),\ldots\}$. We ask two questions here: (i) what are the polynomials $u$ for which $0\in…

We extend existing results on locally nilpotent differential polynomial rings to skew extensions of rings. We prove that if $\mathscr{G}=\{\sigma_t\}_{t\in T}$ is a locally finite family of automorphisms of an algebra $R$,…

We investigate the structure of commutative integral domains $B$ of characteristic zero by studying the kernels of locally nilpotent derivations $D : B \to B$.

In this paper, we study the non trivial idempotents of the $2 \times 2$ matrix ring over the polynomial ring $\mathbb{Z}_{pqr}[x]$ for distinct primes $p, q $ and $r$ greater than $3$. We have classified all the idempotents of this matrix…

Let B be an algebra over a field k and let Der(B) be the set of k-derivations from B to B. We define what it means for a subset of Der(B) to be a locally nilpotent set. We prove some basic results about that notion and explore the following…

For a polynomial $u(x)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $r\in\mathbb{Z}$, we consider the orbit of $u$ at $r$ denoted and defined by $\mathcal{O}_u(r):=\{u^{(n)}(r)~|~n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. Here we study polynomials for which $0$ is in the orbit, and we…

We describe the set of all locally nilpotent derivations of the quotient ring $\mathbb{K}[X,Y,Z]/(f(X)Y - \varphi(X,Z))$ constructed from the defining equation $f(X)Y = \varphi(X,Z)$ of a generalized Danielewski surface in $\mathbb K^3$ for…

For a polynomial $u=u(x)$ in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ and $r\in\mathbb{Z}$, we consider the orbit of $u$ at $r$ denoted and defined by $\mathcal{O}_u(r):=\{u(r),u(u(r)),\ldots\}$. We ask two questions here: (i) what are the polynomials $u$ for which…

We prove that the ring of polynomials in several commuting indeterminates over a nil ring cannot be homomorphically mapped onto a ring with identity, i.e. it is Brown-McCoy radical. It answers a question posed by Puczylowski and…

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 and let $A$ be a finitely generated $k$-algebra that is a domain whose Gelfand-Kirillov dimension is in $[2,3)$. We show that if $A$ has a nonzero locally nilpotent derivation…

Let K be an algebraically closed field. We prove that a polynomial K-derivation $D$ in two variables is locally nilpotent if and only if the subgroup of polynomial K-automorphisms which commute with D admits elements whose degree is…
