In this paper, it has been proved that for a Noetherian ring R and an automorphism σ of R, an associated prime ideal of R[x, σ] or R[x, x−1, σ] is the extension of its contraction to R and this contraction is the intersection of the orbit under σ of some associated prime ideal of R. The same statement is true for minimal prime ideals also. It has also been proved that for a Noetherian Q-algebra...
