Two-dimensional integrable differential calculi for classes of Ore extensions of the polynomial ring and the Laurent polynomial ring in one variable are constructed. Thus it is concluded that all affine pointed Hopf domains of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension two which are not polynomial identity rings are differentially smooth.
An attractive interplay between the direct decompositions and the explicit form of basic subgroups in group rings of abelian groups over a commutative unitary ring are established. In particular, as a consequence, we give a simpler confirmation of a more general version of our recent result in this aspect published in Czechoslovak Math. J. (2006).
Let S = Σi=1n Rai be a finite normalizing extension of R and suppose that SM is a left S-module. Denote by crk(A) the dual Goldie dimension of the module A. We show that crk(RM) ≤ n · crk(SM) if either SM is artinian or the group homomorphism M → aiM given by x → aix is an isomorphism.
