A GENERALIZATION OF NIL-ARMENDARIZ RINGS

Let R be a ring, M a monoid and omega : M -> End(R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew monoid ring R * M is a common generalization of polynomial rings, skew polynomial rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings and monoid rings. In the current work, we study the nil skew M-Armendariz condition on R, a generalization of the standard nil-Armendariz condition from polynomials to skew monoid rings. We resolve the structure of nil skew M-Armendariz rings and obtain various necessary or sufficient conditions for a ring to be nil skew M-Armendariz, unifying and generalizing a number of known nil Armendariz-like conditions in the aforementioned special cases. We consider central idempotents which are invariant under a monoid endomorphism of nil skew M-Armendariz rings and classify how the nil skew M-Armendariz rings behaves under various ring extensions. We also provide rich classes of skew monoid rings which satisfy in a condition nil(R * M) = nil(R) * M. Moreover, we study on the relationship between the zip and weak zip properties of a ring R and those of the skew monoid ring R * M.
