The semiprimeness conjecture for bounded skew power series rings
The semiprimeness conjecture for bounded skew power series rings
Let be a simple artinian -algebra carrying a standard filtration . Let be a commuting skew derivation on , meaning that
Assume that is quasi-compatible with , and let denote the bounded skew power series ring.
Semiprimeness conjecture. The ring is (semi)prime.
The bounded skew power series ring is known to exist under these hypotheses. If this conjecture holds, the filtered localisation procedure would imply that every skew power series ring over a complete, filtered prime ring is (semi)prime, answering the corresponding question about Iwasawa algebras positively.
