Let A be a semprime, right noetherian ring equipped with an automorphism alpha, and let B := A[[y; alpha]] denote the corresponding skew power series ring (which is also semiprime and right noetherian). We prove that the Goldie ranks of A and B are equal. We also record applications to induced ideals.
We study prime ideals in skew power series rings $T:=R[[y;tau,delta]]$, for suitably conditioned right noetherian complete semilocal rings $R$, automorphisms $tau$ of $R$, and $tau$-derivations $delta$ of $R$. These rings were introduced by Venjakob, motivated by issues in noncommutative Iwasawa theory. Our main results concern Cutting Down and Lying Over. In particular, under the additional assumption that $delta = tau - id$ (a basic feature of the Iwasawa-theoretic context), we prove: If $I$ is an ideal of $R$, then there exists a prime ideal $P$ of $S$ contracting to $I$ if and only if $I$ is a $delta$-stable $tau$-prime ideal of $R$. Our approach essentially depends on two key ingredients: First, the algebras considered are zariskian (in the sense of Li and Van Oystaeyen), and so the ideals are all topologically closed. Second, topological arguments can be used to apply previous results of Goodearl and the author on skew polynomial rings.
We study the q-commutative power series ring R:=k_q[[x_1,...,x_n]], defined by the relations x_ix_j = q_{ij}x_j x_i, for multiplicatively antisymmetric scalars q_{ij} in a field k. Our results provide a detailed account of prime ideal structure for a class of noncommutative, complete, local, noetherian domains having arbitrarily high (but finite) Krull, global, and classical Krull dimension. In particular, we prove that the prime spectrum of R is normally separated and is finitely stratified by commutative noetherian spectra. Combining this normal separation with results of Chan, Wu, Yekutieli, and Zhang, we are able to conclude that R is catenary. Following the approach of Brown and Goodearl, we also show that links between prime ideals are provided by canonical automorphisms. Moreover, for sufficiently generic q_{ij}, we find that R has only finitely many prime ideals and is a UFD (in the sense of Chatters).
An important instance of Rota-Baxter algebras from their quantum field theory application is the ring of Laurent series with a suitable projection. We view the ring of Laurent series as a special case of generalized power series rings with exponents in an ordered monoid. We study when a generalized power series ring has a Rota-Baxter operator and how this is related to the ordered monoid.
We continue the first and second authors study of $q$-commutative power series rings $R=k_q[[x_1,ldots,x_n]]$ and Laurent series rings $L=k_q[[x^{pm 1}_1,ldots,x^{pm 1}_n]]$, specializing to the case in which the commutation parameters $q_{ij}$ are all roots of unity. In this setting, $R$ is a PI algebra, and we can apply results of De Concini, Kac, and Procesi to show that $L$ is an Azumaya algebra whose degree can be inferred from the $q_{ij}$. Our main result establishes an exact criterion (dependent on the $q_{ij}$) for determining when the centers of $L$ and $R$ are commutative Laurent series and commutative power series rings, respectively. In the event this criterion is satisfied, it follows that $L$ is a unique factorization ring in the sense of Chatters and Jordan, and it further follows, by results of Dumas, Launois, Lenagan, and Rigal, that $R$ is a unique factorization ring. We thus produce new examples of complete, local, noetherian, noncommutative, unique factorization rings (that are PI domains).
We prove that the local components of an automorphic representation of an adelic semisimple group have equal rank in the sense defined earlier by the second author. Our theorem is an analogue of the results previously obtained by Howe, Li, Dvorsky--Sahi, and Kobayashi--Savin. Unlike previous works which are based on explicit matrix realizations and existence of parabolic subgroups with abelian unipotent radicals, our proof works uniformly for all of the (classical as well as exceptional) groups under consideration. Our result is an extension of the statement known for several semisimple groups that if at least one local component of an automorphic representation is a minimal representation, then all of its local components are minimal.
