Let K be a finite extension of Qp, let L/K be a finite abelian Galois extension of odd degree and let OL be the valuation ring of L. We define AL/K to be the unique fractional OL-ideal with square equal to the inverse different of L/K. For p an odd prime and L/Qp contained in certain cyclotomic extensions, Erez has described integral normal bases for AL/Qp that are self-dual with respect to the...

let r be a ring,  be an endomorphism of r and mr be a -rigid module. amodule mr is called quasi-baer if the right annihilator of a principal submodule of r isgenerated by an idempotent. it is shown that an r-module mr is a quasi-baer module if andonly if m[[x]] is a quasi-baer module over the skew power series ring r[[x; ]].

Let $R$ be a ring, $sigma$ be an endomorphism of $R$ and $M_R$ be a $sigma$-rigid module. A module $M_R$ is called quasi-Baer if the right annihilator of a principal submodule of $R$ is generated by an idempotent. It is shown that an $R$-module $M_R$ is a quasi-Baer module if and only if $M[[x]]$ is a quasi-Baer module over the skew power series ring $R[[x,sigma]]$.

Abstract Many well-known local rings, including soluble Iwasawa algebras and certain completed quantum algebras, arise naturally as iterated skew power series rings. We calculate their Krull global dimensions, obtaining lower bounds to complement the upper obtained by Wang. In fact, we show that many common such rings obey a stronger property, which call triangularity, allows us also classical ...
