Primality conjecture for invariant ideals in skew power series rings

Let RR be a Noetherian ring, complete with respect to a positive filtration topology, and let (σ,δ)(\sigma,\delta) be a continuous skew derivation compatible with the filtration. Define the skew power series ring

S=R[[x;σ,δ]],S=R[[x;\sigma,\delta]],

with multiplication determined by xr=σ(r)x+δ(r)xr=\sigma(r)x+\delta(r) for rRr\in R. Let PP be a prime, (σ,δ)(\sigma,\delta)-invariant ideal of RR. Primality conjecture. The ideal SPSP is a prime ideal of SS. This conjecture asks when invariant prime ideals remain prime after extension to a skew power series ring; the paper partially addresses it, including reductions to a finite-index problem in characteristic pp and preliminary results in the Iwasawa algebra case.
