A ring $R$ is called a left APP-ring if the left annihilator $l_R\left(Ra\right)$ is right $s$-unital as an ideal of $R$ for any element $a\in R$. We consider left APP-property of the skew formal power series ring $R\left[\right[x;\alpha \left]\right]$ where $\alpha$ is a ring automorphism of $R$. It is shown that if $R$ is a ring satisfying descending chain condition on right annihilators then $R\left[\right[x;\alpha \left]\right]$ is left APP if and only if for any sequence $(b_0,b_1,\cdots )$ of elements of $R$ the ideal $l_R$ $\left({\sum }_{j=0}^{\infty }{\sum }_{k=0}^{\infty }R{\alpha }^k\left(b_j\right)\right)$ is right $s$-unital. As an application we give a sufficient condition under which...

A ring R is called Armendariz (resp., Armendariz of power series type) if, whenever $\left({\sum }_{i\ge 0}{a}_i{x}^i\right)\left({\sum }_{j\ge 0}{b}_j{x}^j\right)=0$ in R[x] (resp., in R[[x]]), then $a_i{b}_j=0$ for all i and j. This paper deals with a unified generalization of the two concepts (see Definition 2). Some known results on Armendariz rings are extended to this more general situation and new results are obtained as consequences. For instance, it is proved that a ring R is Armendariz of power series type iff the same is true of R[[x]]. For an injective endomorphism...

We study McCoy’s theorem to the skew Hurwitz series ring $(\mathrm{HR},\omega )$ for some different classes of rings such as: semiprime rings, APP rings and skew Hurwitz serieswise quasi-Armendariz rings. Moreover, we establish an equivalence relationship between a right zip ring and its skew Hurwitz series ring in case when a ring $R$ satisfies McCoy’s theorem of skew Hurwitz series.

Let $m>1,s\ge 1$ be fixed positive integers, and let $R$ be a ring with unity $1$ in which for every $x$ in $R$ there exist integers $p=p\left(x\right)\ge 0,q=q\left(x\right)\ge 0,n=n\left(x\right)\ge 0,r=r\left(x\right)\ge 0$ such that either $x^p[x^n,y]x^q=x^r[x,y^m]y^s$ or $x^p[x^n,y]x^q=y^s[x,y^m]x^r$ for all $y\in R$. In the present paper it is shown that $R$ is commutative if it satisfies the property $Q\left(m\right)$ (i.e. for all $x,y\in R,m[x,y]=0$ implies $[x,y]=0$).

Let $m\ge 0,r\ge 0,s\ge 0,q\ge 0$ be fixed integers. Suppose that $R$ is an associative ring with unity $1$ in which for each $x,y\in R$ there exist polynomials $f\left(X\right)\in X^{2}ZZ\left[X\right],g\left(X\right),h\left(X\right)\in XZZ\left[X\right]$ such that $\{1-g\left(y{x}^m\right)\}[x,x^{r}y-x^{s}f\left(y{x}^m\right)x^q]\{1-h\left(y{x}^m\right)\}=0$. Then $R$ is commutative. Further, result is extended to the case when the integral exponents in the above property depend on the choice of $x$ and $y$. Finally, commutativity of one sided s-unital ring is also obtained when $R$ satisfies some related ring properties.

Let $R$ be a commutative ring and $S\subseteq R$ a given multiplicative set. Let $(M,\le )$ be a strictly ordered monoid satisfying the condition that $0\le m$ for every $m\in M$. Then it is shown, under some additional conditions, that the generalized power series ring $\left[\left[R^{M,\le }\right]\right]$ is $S$-Noetherian if and only if $R$ is $S$-Noetherian and $M$ is finitely generated.
