In this paper we study a special type of linear codes, called skew cyclic codes, in the most general case. This set of codes is a generalization of cyclic codes but constructed using a non-commutative ring called the skew polynomial ring. In previous works these codes have been studied with certain restrictions on their length. This work examines their structure for an arbitrary length without ...

A Wedderburn polynomial over a division ring K is a minimal polynomial of an algebraic subset of K. Special cases of such polynomials include, for instance, the minimal polynomials (over the center F = Z(K)) of elements of K that are algebraic over F . In this note, we give a survey on some of our ongoing work on the structure theory of Wedderburn polynomials. Throughout the note, we work in th...

We introduce circulant matrices that capture the structure of a skew-polynomial ring F[x; θ] modulo the left ideal generated by a polynomial of the type x − a. This allows us to develop an approach to skew-constacyclic codes based on such circulants. Properties of these circulants are derived, and in particular it is shown that the transpose of a certain circulant is a circulant again. This rec...

A ring $R$ with an automorphism $sigma$ and a $sigma$-derivation $delta$ is called $delta$-quasi-Baer (resp., $sigma$-invariant quasi-Baer) if the right annihilator of every $delta$-ideal (resp., $sigma$-invariant ideal) of $R$ is generated by an idempotent, as a right ideal. In this paper, we study Baer and quasi-Baer properties of skew PBW extensions. More exactly, let $A=sigma(R)leftlangle x...

In the paper we study the endomorphim semigroup of a general quantum polynomial ring, its finite groups of automorphisms and homological properties of this ring as a module over the skew group ring of a finite group of automorphisms. Moreover properties of the division ring of fractions are considered.

let $d$ be a digraph with skew-adjacency matrix $s(d)$. then the skew energyof $d$ is defined to be the sum of the norms of all eigenvalues of $s(d)$. denote by$mathcal{o}_n$ the class of digraphs on order $n$ with no even cycles, and by$mathcal{o}_{n,m}$ the class of digraphs in $mathcal{o}_n$ with $m$ arcs.in this paper, we first give the minimal skew energy digraphs in$mathcal{o}_n$ and $mat...

This article discusses skew generalized quasi-cyclic codes over any finite field F with Galois automorphism θ. This is a generalization of quasi-cyclic codes and skew polynomial codes. These codes have an added advantage over quasi-cyclic codes since their lengths do not have to be multiples of the index. After a brief description of the skew polynomial ring F[x; θ], we show that a skew general...
