Rings with a Special Kind of Automorphism
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Abstract
In this paper we examine the nature of rings R with unit having an automorphism ϕ ≠ 1 such that x — ϕ(x) is 0 or invertible for every x ∊ R. We show that the only examples of such rings are R = D, R = D2, and R = D ⊕ D, where D is a division ring. Furthermore, for the case D2, we describe the division rings that are possible.
