Ore-Rees rings which are maximal orders. (Q267165)

Ore-Rees rings are defined as combinations of twisted polynomial rings \(R[t;\sigma,\delta]\) over a Noetherian prime ring \(R\) and Rees rings over \(R\) with respect to a \(\sigma\)-invariant invertible ideal \(X\). Thus, an Ore-Rees ring \(S\) is of the form \(S=R\oplus Xt\oplus Xt^2\oplus\cdots\), viewed as a subring of \(R[t;\sigma,\delta]\). One of the main results states that \(S\) is a maximal order if \(R\) is a maximal order. In the special case \(\sigma=1\), a certain converse is proved.
