In this paper, we study the arithmetics of skew polynomial rings over finite fields, mostly from an algorithmic point of view. We give various algorithms for fast multiplication, division and extended Euclidean division. We give a precise description of quotients of skew polynomial rings by a left principal ideal, using results relating skew polynomial rings to Azumaya algebras. We use this des...

We study ideals in Hall algebras of monoid representations on pointed sets corresponding to certain conditions on the representations. These conditions include the property that the monoid act via partial permutations, that the representation possess a compatible grading, and conditions on the support of the module. Quotients by these ideals lead to combinatorial Hopf algebras which can be inte...

The main result of this paper is that for a commutative ring R and finitely generated submonoids M and N of Z2 the monoid rings R [M] and R[N] are isomorphic as R algebras if and only if M and N are isomorphic. In the course of proof we derive various results concerning the structure of rank 2 monoids and isomorphisms between the corresponding monoid rings. 1991 Math. Subj. Class.: 13B25, 20M25...

We generalize the construction of linear codes via skew polynomial rings by using Galois rings instead of finite fields as coefficients. The resulting non commutative rings are no longer left and right Euclidean. Codes that are principal ideals in quotient rings of skew polynomial rings by a two sided ideals are studied. As an application, skew constacyclic self-dual codes over GR(4) are constr...

Following a construction of Stanley we consider toric face rings associated to rational pointed fans. This class of rings is a common generalization of the concepts of Stanley–Reisner and affine monoid algebras. The main goal of this article is to unify parts of the theories of Stanley–Reisnerand affine monoid algebras. We consider (nonpure) shellable fan’s and the Cohen–Macaulay property. More...
