Let $R$ be an algebra over an uncountable field, $\sigma$ a locally torsion automorphism and $\delta$ a locally nilpotent left $\sigma$-derivation such that $q\sigma\delta = \delta\sigma$, where $q$ is a nonzero scalar. We show that the…

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 $R$,…

Let $R$ be a ring satisfying a polynomial identity and let $D$ be a derivation of $R$. We consider the Jacobson radical of the skew polynomial ring $R[x;D]$ with coefficients in $R$ and with respect to $D$, and show that $J(R[x;D])\cap R$…

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…

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 prove that an integral Jacobson radical ring is always nil, which extends a well known result from algebras over fields to rings. As a consequence we show that if every element x of a ring R is a zero of some polynomial p_x with integer…

Let $\sigma$ be an endomorphism and $\delta$ an $\sigma$-derivation of a ring $R$. In this paper, we show that if $R$ is $(\sigma,\delta)$-skew Armendariz and $a\sigma(b)=0$ implies $ab=0$ for $a,b\in R$. Then $R$ is symmetric…

A well-known theorem by S.A. Amitsur shows that the Jacobson radical of the polynomial ring R[x] equals I[x] for some nil ideal I of R. In this paper, however, we show that this is not the case for differential polynomial rings, by proving…

Let $R$ be a 2-torsion free $\sigma$-prime ring. It is shown here that if $U\not\subset Z(R)$ is a $\sigma$-Lie ideal of $R$ and $a, b$ in $R$ such that $aUb=\sigma(a)Ub=0,$ then either $a=0$ or $b=0.$ This result is then applied to study…

Let $R$ be a ring, $\sigma:R\to R$ a ring endomorphism, and $\delta:R\to R$ a $\sigma$-derivation. We establish that the Ore extension $R[x;\sigma,\delta]$ satisfies the rank condition if and only if $R$ does. In addition, we prove…

Let R be a ring (not necessarily with 1) and G be a finite group of automorphisms of R. The set B(R, G) of primes p such that p | |G| and R is not p-torsion free, is called the set of bad primes. When the ring is |G|-torsion free, i.e.,…

For a homomorphism f: A --> B of commutative rings, let D(A,B) denote Ker[Pic(A) --> Pic(B)]. Let k be a field and assume that A is a f.g. k-algebra. We prove a number of finiteness results for D(A,B). Here are four of them. 1: Suppose B is…

Let $K$ be a field of characteristic zero, let $\sigma$ be an automorphism of $K$ and let $\delta$ be a $\sigma$-derivation of $K$. We show that the division ring $D=K(x;\sigma,\delta)$ either has the property that every finitely generated…

A cover of an associative (not necessarily commutative nor unital) ring $R$ is a collection of proper subrings of $R$ whose set-theoretic union equals $R$. If such a cover exists, then the covering number $\sigma(R)$ of $R$ is the…

Brown, O'Hagan, Zhang, and Zhuang gave a set of conditions on an automorphism $\sigma$ and a $\sigma$-derivation $\delta$ of a Hopf $k$-algebra $R$ for when the skew polynomial extension $T=R[x, \sigma, \delta]$ of $R$ admits a Hopf algebra…

In this paper we investigate extended modules for a special class of Ore extensions. We will assume that $R$ is a ring and $A$ will denote the Ore extension $A:=R[x_1,\dots,x_n;\sigma]$ for which $\sigma$ is an automorphism of $R$,…

Let R = D[x;\sigma;\delta] be an Ore extension over a commutative Dedekind domain D, where \sigma is an automorphism on D. In the case \delta = 0 Marubayashi et. al. already investigated the class of minimal prime ideals in term of their…

We prove that if A is a finite dimensional associative H-comodule algebra over a field F for some involutory Hopf algebra H not necessarily finite dimensional, where either char F = 0 or char F > dim A, then the Jacobson radical J(A) is an…
