Quasi-Armendariz rings relative to a monoid. (Q995596)

Let \(M\) be a monoid. An associative ring \(R\) with an identity is called \(M\)-quasi-Armendariz if for any two elements \(a=a_1g_1+\cdots+a_ng_n\) and \(b=b_1h_1+\cdots+b_kh_k\), \(a_i,b_j\in R\), \(g_i,h_j\in M\), of the semigroup ring \(R[M]\) such that \(aR[M]b=0\) it follows that \(a_iRb_j=0\) for all \(i,j\). This is a new variation of the Armendariz and quasi-Armendariz properties, that were originally studied for the polynomial ring \(R[x]\), so in the case where \(M\) is an infinite cyclic monoid. Some other generalizations, based on the (generalized) power series rings have also been studied recently. In this paper, among other things, it is proved that the introduced property is Morita invariant, and that the class of \(M\)-quasi-Armendariz rings is closed under taking triangular matrix rings. Certain relations to the quasi-Baer property of the rings \(R\) and \(R[M]\) are also discussed. Recall that \(R\) is quasi-Baer if the left annihilator of every left ideal of \(R\) is generated by an idempotent.
