Semigroup algebras of finite representation type.
A ring is called a right -ring if its socle, , is projective. Nicholson and Watters have shown that if is a right -ring, then so are the polynomial ring and power series ring . In this paper, it is proved that, under suitable conditions, if has a (flat) projective socle, then so does the skew inverse power series ring and the skew polynomial ring , where is an associative ring equipped with an automorphism and an -derivation . Our results extend and unify many existing results....
