Let $r\left({𝔴}_2^0\right)$ be the Green ring of the weak Hopf algebra ${𝔴}_2^0$ corresponding to Sweedler’s 4-dimensional Hopf algebra $H_2$, and let $\mathrm{Aut}\left(R\left({𝔴}_2^0\right)\right)$ be the automorphism group of the Green algebra $R\left({𝔴}_2^0\right)=r\left({𝔴}_2^0\right){\otimes }_{\mathbb{Z}}ℂ$. We show that the quotient group $\mathrm{Aut}\left(R\left({𝔴}_2^0\right)\right)/C_2\cong S_3$, where $C_2$ contains the identity map and is isomorphic to the infinite group $({ℂ}^{*},\times )$ and $S_3$ is the symmetric group of order 6.

Let $H_8$ be the unique noncommutative and noncocommutative eight dimensional semi-simple Hopf algebra. We first construct a weak Hopf algebra $\widetilde{H_8}$ based on $H_8$, then we investigate the structure of the representation ring of $\widetilde{H_8}$. Finally, we prove that the automorphism group of $r\left(\widetilde{H_8}\right)$ is just isomorphic to $D_6$, where $D_6$ is the dihedral group with order 12.

We introduce the notion of an automorphism liftable module and give a characterization to it. We prove that category equivalence preserves automorphism liftable. Furthermore, we characterize semisimple rings, perfect rings, hereditary rings and quasi-Frobenius rings by properties of automorphism liftable modules. Also, we study automorphism liftable modules with summand sum property (SSP) and summand intersection property (SIP).

Let $R$ be a prime ring of characteristic different from 2, $Q_r$ its right Martindale quotient ring and $C$ its extended centroid. Suppose that $F$, $G$ are generalized skew derivations of $R$ with the same associated automorphism $\alpha$, and $p(x_1,...,x_n)$ is a non-central polynomial over $C$ such that $$\left[F\right(x),\alpha (y\left)\right]=G\left(\right[x,y\left]\right)$$ for all $x,y\in \{p(r_1,...,r_n):r_1,...,r_n\in R\}$. Then there exists $\lambda \in C$ such that $F\left(x\right)=G\left(x\right)=\lambda \alpha \left(x\right)$ for all $x\in R$.

A completely primary ring is a ring R with identity 1 ≠ 0 whose subset of zero-divisors forms the unique maximal ideal . We determine the structure of the group of automorphisms Aut(R) of a completely primary finite ring R of characteristic p, such that if is the Jacobson radical of R, then ³ = (0), ² ≠ (0), the annihilator of coincides with ² and $R/\cong GF\left(p^r\right)$, the finite field of $p^r$ elements, for any prime p and any positive integer r.
