We generalize the construction of linear codes via skew polynomial rings by using Galois rings instead of finite fields as coefficients. The resulting non commutative rings are no longer left and right Euclidean. Codes that are principal ideals in quotient rings of skew polynomial rings by a two sided ideals are studied. As an application, skew constacyclic self-dual codes over GR(4) are constr...

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...
