Let $R$ be a reversible ring which is $alpha$-compatible for an endomorphism $alpha$ of $R$ and $f(X)=a_0+a_1X+cdots+a_nX^n$ be a nonzero skew polynomial in $R[X;alpha]$. It is proved that if there exists a nonzero skew polynomial $g(X)=b_0+b_1X+cdots+b_mX^m$ in $R[X;alpha]$ such that $g(X)f(X)=c$ is a constant in $R$, then $b_0a_0=c$ and there exist nonzero elements $a$ and $r$ in $R$ such tha...

In analogy to cyclic codes, we study linear codes over finite fields obtained from left ideals in a quotient ring of a (non commutative) skew polynomial ring. The paper shows how existence and properties of such codes are linked to arithmetic properties of skew polynomials. This class of codes is a generalization of the θ-cyclic codes discussed in [1]. However θ-cyclic codes are performant repr...

In this paper, we classify the skew cyclic codes over Fp + vF_p + v^2F_p, where p is a prime number and v^3 = v. Each skew cyclic code is a F_p+vF_p+v^2F_p-submodule of the (F_p+vF_p+v^2F_p)[x;alpha], where v^3 = v and alpha(v) = -v. Also, we give an explicit forms for the generator of these codes. Moreover, an algorithm of encoding and decoding for these codes is presented.

In this survey paper we define partial actions of groups on algebras and give several related results. For any partial action a partial skew group ring is defined. This partial skew group ring is not always associative. Conditions under which associativity holds are studied. Several other questions are considered like, for example, enveloping actions and properties of partial skew group rings.
