Communicated by M. Ya. Komarnytskyj
Abstract. Let R be a right Noetherian ring which is also
an algebra over Q (Q the field of rational numbers). Let σ be an
automorphism of R and δ a σ-derivation of R. Let further σ be such
that aσ(a) ∈ N(R) implies that a ∈ N(R) for a ∈ R, where N(R)
is the set of nilpotent elements of R. In this paper we study the
associated prime ideals of Ore extension R[x;σ, δ] and we prove the
following in this direction:
Let R be a semiprime right Noetherian ring which is also an
algebra over Q. Let σ and δ be as above. Then P is an associated
prime ideal of R[x;σ, δ] (viewed as a right module over itself) if and
only if there exists an associated prime ideal U of R with σ(U) = U
and δ(U) ⊆ U and P = U [x;σ, δ].
We also prove that if R be a right Noetherian ring which is also
an algebra over Q, σ and δ as usual such that σ(δ(a)) = δ(σ(a))
for all a ∈ R and σ(U) = U for all associated prime ideals U of
R (viewed as a right module over itself), then P is an associated
prime ideal of R[x;σ, δ] (viewed as a right module over itself) if
and only if there exists an associated prime ideal U of R such that
(P ∩R)[x;σ, δ] = P and P ∩R = U .
1. Introduction and preliminaries
Notation: All rings are associative with identity. Throughout this paper
R denotes a ring with identity 1 6= 0. The prime radical of R is denoted by
P (R). The set of nilpotent elements of R is denoted by N(R). The fields
The author would like to express his sincere thanks to the referee for comments and
suggestions (regarding inclusion of more examples) to give the paper the present shape.

of rational numbers, real numbers and complex numbers are denoted by
Q, R, C respectively. For any subset J of a right R-module M , annihilator
of J is denoted by Ann(J). The set of prime ideals of R is denoted by
Spec(R), the set of associated prime ideals of R (viewed as a right module
over itself) is denoted by Ass(RR), and the set of minimal prime ideals of
R is denoted by Min.Spec(R). Let R be a right Noetherian ring. For any
uniform right R-module J , the assassinator of J is denoted by Assas(J).
Let M be a right R-module. Consider the set
{Assas(J) | J is a uniform right R-submodule of M}.
We denote this set by A(MR).
Remark 1.1. If R is viewed as a right module over itself, we note that
Ass(RR) = A(RR) (5Y of Goodearl and Warfield [8]).
For any two ideals I, J of R; I ⊂ J means that I is strictly contained
in J .
Let K be an ideal of a ring R such that σm(K) = K for some integer
m ≥ 1, we denote ∩m
i=1σ
i(K) by K0.
Ore extensions: Let R be a ring, σ an endomorphism of R and
δ a σ-derivation of R (δ : R → R is an additive map with δ(ab) =
δ(a)σ(b) + aδ(b), for all a, b ∈ R).
For example let σ be an endomorphism of a ring R and δ : R → R
any map.
Let φ : R → M2(R) defined by
φ(r) =
(
σ(r) 0
δ(r) r
)
, for all r ∈ R be a ring homomorphism.
Then δ is a σ-derivation of R.
We denote the Ore extension R[x;σ, δ] by O(R). If I is an ideal of R
such that I is σ-stable; i.e. σ(I) = I and I is δ-invariant; i.e. δ(I) ⊆ I, then
we denote I[x;σ, δ] by O(I). We would like to mention that R[x;σ, δ] is
the usual set of polynomials with coefficients in R, i.e. {
∑n
i=0 x
iai, ai ∈ R}
in which multiplication is subject to the relation ax = xσ(a) + δ(a) for
all a ∈ R. We take coefficients of the polynomials on the right as followed
in McConnell and Robson [13].
In case δ is the zero map, we denote the skew polynomial ring R[x;σ]
by S(R) and for any ideal I of R with σ(I) = I, we denote I[x;σ] by
S(I).
In case σ is the identity map, we denote the differential operator ring
R[x; δ] by D(R) and for any ideal J of R with δ(J) ⊆ J , we denote J [x; δ]
by D(J).
10 Associated Prime ideals of weak σ-rigid rings
Ore-extensions (skew-polynomial rings and differential operator rings)
have been of interest to many authors. For example see [1, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10,
12, 13].
Prime ideals: This article concerns the study of prime ideals of Ore
extensions (skew polynomial rings). Regarding associated prime ideals of
Ore extension R[x;σ, δ], we have the following from S. Annin [1]:
Definition (2.1) of Annin [1]: Let R be a ring and MR be a right
R-module. Let σ be an endomorphism of R and δ be a σ-derivation of R.
MR is said to be σ-compatible if for each m ∈ M , r ∈ R, we have mr = 0
if and only if mσ(r) = 0. Moreover MR is said to be δ-compatible if for
each m ∈ M , r ∈ R, we have mr = 0 implies mδ(r) = 0. If MR is both
σ-compatible and δ-compatible, MR is said to be (σ − δ)-compatible.
Theorem (2.3) of Annin [1]: Let R be a ring. Let σ be an endo-
morphism of R and δ a σ-derivation of R and MR be a right R-module.
If MR is (σ − δ)-compatible, then Ass(M [x]S) = {P [x] | P ∈ Ass(MR)}.
In [12], Leroy and Matczuk have investigated the relationship between
the associated prime ideals of an R-module MR and that of the induced
S-module MS , where S = R[x;σ, δ] (σ is an automorphism and δ is a
σ-derivation of a ring R). They have proved the following:
Theorem (5.7) of [12]: Suppose MR contains enough prime sub-
modules and let for Q ∈ Ass(MS). If for every P ∈ Ass(MR), σ(P ) = P ,
then Q = PS for some P ∈ Ass(MR).
Motivated by these developments, I investigated the nature of associ-
ated prime ideals of R[x;σ, δ] over a right Noetherian ring R and their
relation with those of the coefficient ring R. In this way I generalized
Theorem (2.4) and Theorem (3.7) of Bhat [4] for associated prime ideals
case. The minimal prime ideal case has been generalized in Lemma (2.2)
of Bhat [5].
Before we state these known results we require the following notation:
Let R be a right Noetherian ring. We know that Ass(RR) is finite
and σj(U) ∈ Ass(RR) for any U ∈ Ass(RR), and for all integers j ≥ 1,
therefore, there exists an integer m ≥ 1 such that σm(U) = U for all U ∈
Ass(RR). We denote ∩m
i=1σ
i(U) by U0 as mentioned in the introduction.
Since Min.Spec(R) is also finite, same notation for Min.Spec(R) also.
Theorem (2.4) of [4]: Let R be a right Noetherian ring and σ be
an automorphism of R. Then:
1. P ∈ Ass(S(R)S(R)) if and only if there exists U ∈ Ass(RR) such
that S(P ∩R) = P and (P ∩R) = U0.
V. K. Bhat 11
2. P ∈ Min.Spec(S(R)) if and only if there exists U ∈ Min.Spec(R)
Such that S(P ∩R) = P and P ∩R = U0.
Theorem (3.7) of [4]: Let R be a right Noetherian Q-algebra and δ be
a derivation of R. Then:
1. P ∈ Ass(D(R)D(R)) if and only if P = D(P ∩ R) and P ∩ R ∈
Ass(RR).
2. P ∈ Min.Spec(D(R)) if and only if P = D(P ∩ R) and P ∩ R ∈
Min.Spec(R).
Before we state the main result, we require the following:
Weak σ-rigid rings:
Let R be a ring and σ be an endomorphism of R. Recall that in [11],
σ is called a rigid endomorphism if aσ(a) = 0 implies a = 0 for a ∈ R,
and R is called a σ-rigid ring.
Example 1.2. Let R = C, and σ : R → R be the map defined by
σ(a+ ib) = a− ib, a, b ∈ R. Then it can be seen that R is a σ-rigid ring.
Definition 1.3. (Ouyang [14]): Let R be a ring and σ be an endomor-
phism of R. Then R is said to be a weak σ-rigid ring if aσ(a) ∈ N(R) if
and only if a ∈ N(R) for a ∈ R.
Example 1.4. (Example (2.1) of Ouyang [14]: Let σ be an endomorphism
of a ring R such that R is a σ-rigid ring. Let
A =
{
a b c
0 a d
0 0 a
| a, b, c, d ∈ R
}
be a subring of T3(R), the ring of upper triangular matrices over R. Now
σ can be extended to an endomorphism σ of A by σ((aij)) = (σ(aij)).
The it can be seen that A is a weak σ-rigid ring.
2. Main results
We now state the main result in the form of the following Theorem:
Theorem A: Let R be a semiprime right Noetherian ring, which is
also an algebra over Q. Let σ be an automorphism of R such that R is a
weak σ-rigid ring and δ be a σ-derivation of R. Then P ∈ Ass(O(R)O(R))
if and only if there exists U ∈ Ass(RR) such that O(P ∩ R) = P and
(P ∩R) = U . This result has been proved in Theorem (2.6).
Towards the proof of the above Theorem, we require the following:
12 Associated Prime ideals of weak σ-rigid rings
Recall that an ideal of a ring R is said to be completely semiprime if
a2 ∈ R implies that a ∈ R.
Let R be a Noetherian ring and σ an automorphism of R. We now
give a necessary and sufficient condition for R to be a weak σ-rigid ring
in the following Theorem:
Theorem 2.1. Let R be a Noetherian ring. Let σ be an automorphism
of R. Then R is a weak σ-rigid ring if and only if N(R) is completely
semiprime.
Proof. First of all we show that σ(N(R)) = N(R). We have σ(N(R)) ⊆
N(R) as σ(N(R)) is a nilpotent ideal of R. Now for any n ∈ N(R), there
exists a ∈ R such that n = σ(a). So I = σ−1(N(R)) = {a ∈ R such that
σ(a) = n ∈ N(R)} is an ideal of R. Now I is nilpotent, therefore I ⊆ N(R),
which implies that N(R) ⊆ σ(N(R)). Hence σ(N(R)) = N(R).
Now let R be a weak σ-rigid ring. We will show that N(R) is completely
semiprime. Let a ∈ R be such that a2 ∈ N(R). Then
aσ(a)σ(aσ(a)) = aσ(a)σ(a)σ2(a) ∈ σ(N(R)) = N(R).
Therefore aσ(a) ∈ N(R) and hence a ∈ N(R). So N(R) is completely
semiprime.
Conversely let N(R) be completely semiprime. We will show that
R is a weak σ-rigid ring. Let a ∈ R be such that aσ(a) ∈ N(R). Now
aσ(a)σ−1(aσ(a)) ∈ N(R) implies that a2 ∈ N(R), and so a ∈ N(R).
Hence R is a weak σ-rigid ring.
Recall that a ring R is 2-primal if and only if N(R) = P (R), i.e. if the
prime radical is a completely semiprime ideal. We note that a reduced is
2-primal and a commutative ring is also 2-primal. For further details on
2-primal rings, we refer the reader to [3, 9].
Proposition 2.2. Let R be a 2-primal right Noetherian ring which is also
an algebra over Q. Let σ be an automorphism of R such that R is a weak
σ-rigid ring and δ a σ-derivation of R. Then σ(U) = U and δ(U) ⊆ U
for all U ∈ Min.Spec(R).
Proof. Let R be 2-primal weak σ-rigid ring. Then N(R) = P (R) and
aσ(a) ∈ N(R) implies that a ∈ N(R). Therefore, aσ(a) ∈ P (R) implies
that a ∈ P (R).
We will now show that P (R) is completely semiprime. Let a ∈ R be
such that a2 ∈ P (R). Then
aσ(a)σ(aσ(a)) = aσ(a)σ(a)σ2(a) ∈ σ(P (R)) = P (R).
Therefore aσ(a) ∈ P (R) and hence a ∈ P (R).
We next show that σ(U) = U for all U ∈ Min.Spec(R). Let U = U1 be
a minimal prime ideal of R. Let U2, U3, ..., Un be the other minimal primes
of R. Suppose that σ(U) 6= U . Then σ(U) is also a minimal prime ideal of
V. K. Bhat 13
R. Renumber so that σ(U) = Un. Let a ∈ ∩n−1
i=1 Ui. Then σ(a) ∈ Un, and
so aσ(a) ∈ ∩n
i=1Ui = P (R). Now P(R) is completely semiprime implies
that a ∈ P (R), and thus ∩n−1
i=1 Ui ⊆ Un, which implies that Ui ⊆ Un for
some i 6= n, which is impossible. Hence σ(U) = U .
Let now V = {a ∈ U | such that δk(a) ∈ U for all integers k ≥ 1}.
First of all, we will show that V is an ideal of R. Let a, b ∈ V . Then
δk(a) ∈ U and δk(b) ∈ U for all integers k ≥ 1}. Now δk(a − b) =
δk(a)− δk(b) ∈ U for all k ≥ 1}. Therefore a− b ∈ V . Also it is easy to
see that for any a ∈ V and for any r ∈ R, ar ∈ V and ra ∈ V . Therefore
V is a δ-invariant ideal of R.
We will now show that V ∈ Spec(R). Suppose V /∈ Spec(R). Let
a /∈ V , b /∈ V be such that aRb ⊆ V . Let t, s be least such that δt(a) /∈ U
and δs(b) /∈ U . Now there exists c ∈ R such that δt(a)cσt(δs(b)) /∈ U . Let
d = σ−t(c). Now δt+s(adb) ∈ U as aRb ⊆ V . This implies on simplification
that δt(a)σt(d)σt(δs(b)) + u ∈ U , where u is sum of terms involving δl(a)
or δm(b), where l < t and m < s. Therefore by assumption u ∈ U which
implies that δt(a)σt(d)σt(δs(b)) ∈ U . This is a contradiction. Therefore,
our supposition must be wrong. Hence V ∈ Spec(R). Now V ⊆ U , so
V = U as U ∈ Min.Spec(R). Hence δ(U) ⊆ U .
Corollary 2.3. Let R be a 2-primal right Noetherian ring which is also
an algebra over Q. Let σ be an automorphism of R such that σ(U) = U
for all U ∈ Min.Spec(R). Let δ be a σ-derivation of R. Then δ(U) ⊆ U .
Lemma 2.4. Let R be a right Noetherian ring which is also an algebra
over Q. Let σ be an automorphism of R such that R is a weak σ-rigid
ring and δ a σ-derivation of R. Then
1. If U is a minimal prime ideal of R, then O(U) is a minimal prime
ideal of of O(R) and O(U) ∩R = U .
2. If P is a minimal prime ideal of O(R), then P ∩ R is a minimal
prime ideal of R.
Proof. (1) Let U be a minimal prime ideal of R. Then by Proposition
(2.2) σ(U) = U and δ(U) ⊆ U . Now on the same lines as in Theorem
(2.22) of Goodearl and Warfield [8] we have O(U) ∈ Spec(O(R)). Suppose
L ⊂ O(U) be a minimal prime ideal of O(R). Then L ∩R ⊂ U is a prime
ideal of R, a contradiction. Therefore O(U) ∈ Min.Spec(O(R)). Now it
is easy to see that O(U) ∩R = U .
(2) We note that x /∈ P for any prime ideal P of O(R) as it is not
a zero divisor. Now the proof follows on the same lines as in Theorem
(2.22) of Goodearl and Warfield [8] using Lemma (2.1) and Lemma (2.2)
of Bhat [2] and Proposition (2.2).
14 Associated Prime ideals of weak σ-rigid rings
Theorem 2.5 (Hilbert Basis Theorem). Let R be a right/left Noetherian
ring. Let σ and δ be as usual. Then the ore extension O(R) = R[x;σ, δ] is
right/left Noetherian.
Proof. See Theorem (2.6) of Goodearl and Warfield [8].
With this we now state and prove Theorem A:
Theorem 2.6. Let R be a semiprime right Noetherian ring, which is
also an algebra over Q. Let σ be an automorphism of R such that R is a
weak σ-rigid ring and δ be a σ-derivation of R. Then P ∈ Ass(O(R)O(R))
if and only if there exists U ∈ Ass(RR) such that O(P ∩ R) = P and
P ∩R = U .
Proof. O(R) is right Noetherian by Theorem (2.5). Let P ∈ Ass(O(R)O(R)).
Now by Remark (1.1) Ass(O(R)O(R)) = A(O(R)(R)). Let P = Ann(I) =
Assas(I) for some ideal I of O(R) such that I is uniform as a right
O(R)-module. Choose f ∈ I to be nonzero of minimal degree (with lead-
ing coefficient an). Let U = Ann(anR) = Assas(anR). Now R is right
Noetherian implies that Ass(RR) = A(RR), and since R is semiprime,
U ∈ Min.Spec(R) by Proposition (2.2.14) of McConnell and Robson [13].
Now R is a weak σ-rigid ring, therefore, Proposition (2.2) implies that
σ(U) = U and δ(U) ⊆ U . So O(U) is an ideal of O(R). Now fU = 0.
Therefore fO(R)U ⊆ fUO(R) = 0, i.e. U ⊆ P ∩ R. But it is clear that
P ∩R ⊆ U . Thus P ∩R = U .
Conversely let U = Ann(cR) = Assas(cR), c ∈ R. Now R is right
Noetherian implies that Ass(RR) = A(RR), and since R is semiprime, U ∈
Min.Spec(R) by Proposition (2.2.14) of McConnell and Robson [13]. Now
R is a weak σ-rigid ring, therefore, Proposition (2.2) implies that σ(U) = U
and δ(U) ⊆ U . Now it can be easily seen that O(U) = Ann(chO(R)) for
all h ∈ O(R). Therefore O(U) = Ann(cO(R)) = Assas(cO(R)).
Example 2.7. 1. R as in Example 1.2 is a semiprime weak σ-rigid
ring, but R being a field has no ideals and is therefore a trivial
example.
2. Let τ be the conjugacy map on C. Let
R =
{
(
a b
0 a
)
| a, b ∈ C
}
.
Define σ : R → R by σ((aij)) = (τ(aij)). Then it can be seen that
σ is an endomorphism of R and R is a weak σ-rigid ring.
Now for any s ∈ R, define δs : R → R by δs(a) = as − sσ(a), for
a ∈ R. Then δs is a σ-derivation of R.
Let
V. K. Bhat 15
U =
{
(
a b
0 0
)
∣
∣
∣ a, b ∈ C
}
∈ Ass(RR).
In fact U = Ann(I) = Assas(I), where I =
{
(
0 0
0 c
)
∣
∣
∣ c ∈ C
}
is a
right ideal of R. Now we note that σ(I) = I, δs(I) ⊆ I, Then it can be
seen that σ is an endomorphism of R and σ(U) ⊆ U . and δs(U) ⊆ U . Also
O(U) ∈ Ass(O(R)O(R)). In fact O(U) = Ann(O(I)) = Assas(O(I)).
Example 2.8. Now let R = F × F , F a field and σ : R → R defined by
σ((u, v)) = (v, u) for u, v ∈ F . Then σ is an automorphism of R. But R
is not a weak σ-rigid ring as for any 0 6= a ∈ F , we have (a, 0)σ((a, 0)) =
(0, 0) ∈ N(R), but (a, 0) /∈ N(R).
Proposition 2.9. Let R be a Noetherian Q-algebra. Let σ be an automor-
phism of R and δ a σ-derivation of R such that σ(δ(a)) = δ(σ(a)) for all
a ∈ R. Then U ∈ Min.Spec(R) with σ(U) = U implies that δ(U) ⊆ U .
Proof. See Lemma (2.6) of Bhat [6].
We now prove the following Theorem:
Theorem 2.10. Let R be a right Noetherian ring which is also an algebra
over Q, σ be an automorphism of R and δ a σ-derivation of R such that
σ(δ(a)) = δ(σ(a)) for all a ∈ R and σ(U) = U for all U ∈ A(RR). Then
P ∈ Ass(O(R)O(R)) if and only if there exists U ∈ Ass(RR) such that
O(P ∩R) = P and P ∩R = U .
Proof. O(R) is right Noetherian by Theorem (2.5). Let J ∈ Ass(O(R)O(R)).
Now by Remark (1.1) Ass(O(R)O(R)) = A(O(R)(R)). Let P = Ann(I) =
Assas(I) for some ideal I of O(R) such that I is uniform as a right O(R)-
module. Choose f ∈ I to be nonzero of minimal degree (with leading
coefficient an). Let U = Ann(anR) = Assas(anR). Now R is right Noethe-
rian implies that Ass(RR) = A(RR). Now by hypothesis σ(U) = U , and
therefore, Proposition (2.9) implies that δ(U) ⊆ U . So O(U) is an ideal of
O(R). Now fU = 0. Therefore fO(R)U ⊆ fUO(R) = 0. So U ⊆ P ∩ R.
But it is clear that P ∩R ⊆ U . Thus P ∩R = U .
Conversely let U = Ann(cR) = Assas(cR), c ∈ R. Now R is right
Noetherian implies that Ass(RR) = A(RR). Now by hypothesis σ(U) = U ,
and therefore, Proposition (2.9) implies that δ(U) ⊆ U . Now it can be
easily seen that O(U) = Ann(chO(R)) for all h ∈ O(R). Therefore
O(U) = Ann(cO(R)) = Assas(cO(R)).
Example 2.11. Let R =
{
(
a b
0 a
)
∣
∣
∣ a, b ∈ R
}
. Then
U =
{
(
a b
0 0
)
∣
∣
∣
a, b ∈ R
}
∈ Ass(RR).
16 Associated Prime ideals of weak σ-rigid rings
In fact U = Ann(I) = Assas(I), where I =
{
(
0 0
0 c
)
∣
∣
∣ c ∈ R
}
is a
right ideal of R.
Let σ : R → R be defined by σ
(
(
a b
0 a
)
)
=
(
a 0
0 a
)
. Then it
can be seen that σ is an endomorphism of R and σ(U) ⊆ U .
For any s ∈ R, define δs : R → R by δs(a) = as− sσ(a), for a ∈ R. Then
δs is a σ-derivation of R. Also we see that σ(δs(u)) = δs(σ(u)) for all
u ∈ R. For let u =
(
a b
0 a
)
and s =
(
p q
0 p
)
. Then
σ(δs(u)) =
(
0 0
0 0
)
and δs(σ(u)) =
(
0 0
0 0
)
.
Now we note that σ(I) = I, δs(I) ⊆ I and δs(U) ⊆ U . Also O(U) ∈
Ass(O(R)O(R)). In fact O(U) = Ann(O(I)) = Assas(O(I)).
Example 2.12. Let R =
(
R R
0 R
)
. Then P =
(
R R
0 0
)
∈ Ass(RR).
In fact P = Ann(I) where I =
(
0 0
0 R
)
is a right ideal of R. Let
σ : R → R be defined by σ
(
(
a b
0 c
)
)
=
(
a 0
0 c
)
. Then it can be
seen that σ is an endomorphism of R and σ(P ) ⊆ P .
For any s ∈ R, define δs : R → R by δs(a) = as− sσ(a), for a ∈ R. Then
δs is a σ-derivation of R. But we see that σ(δs(u)) 6= δs(σ(u)) for all
u ∈ R. Let u =
(
a b
0 c
)
and s =
(
p q
0 r
)
. Then
σ(δs(u)) =
(
0 pb+ qc− aq
0 0
)
and δs(σ(u)) =
(
0 0
0 0
)
.
Example 2.13. Let R = R× R, σ : R → R defined by σ((a, b)) = (b, a)
for a, b ∈ R. Then σ is an automorphism of R. Let now r ∈ R. Define
δr : R → R by δr((a, b)) = (a, b)r − rσ((a, b)) for a, b ∈ R. Then δ is a
σ-derivation. Now for any (a, b) ∈ R,
σ(δr((a, b))) = σ((u, v)r − rσ((u, v))) =
= σ((u, v)r − r(v, u)) = σ((ur, vr)− σ(vr, ur)) = (vr, ur)− (ur, vr)).
Also
δr(σ((u, v))) = δr(v, u) = (v, u)r − rσ((v, u)) =
= (v, u)r − r(u, v) = (vr, ur)− (ur, vr)).
Therefore σ(δ((u, v))) = δ(σ((u, v))) for all (u, v) ∈ R. We see that
U = 0×R ∈ Ass(RR). In fact U = Ann(R×{0}) = Assas(R×{0}). But
we note that σ(U) 6= U .
