Rota–Baxter operators on skew generalized power series rings

Abstract

Let R be a ring, S a strictly ordered monoid, and ω : S → End (R) a monoid homomorphism. The skew generalized power series ring R[[S, ω]] is a common generalization of (skew) polynomial rings, (skew) Laurent polynomial rings, (skew) power series rings, (skew) Laurent series rings, (skew) monoid rings, (skew) Mal'cev–Neumann series rings, and generalized power series rings. We characterize those subsets T of S for which the cut-off operator with respect to T is a Rota–Baxter operator on the ring R[[S, ω]]. The obtained results provide a large class of noncommutative Rota–Baxter algebras.
