Review text

Let \(G\) be a finite group of automorphisms of the ring \(S\). As is well known [see, e.g., \textit{S. Montgomery}, Fixed rings of finite automorphisms groups of associative rings, Lect. Notes Math. 818 (1980; Zbl 0449.16001)] there is a Morita context relating the fixed ring \(S^G=\{s\in S:s^g=s\) for all \(g\in G\}\) to the skew group ring \(S*G\). In this paper a detailed study is made of this context, without making the assumption that \(|G|^{-1}\in S\). A bijection is thus defined between appropriate subsets of \(\text{Spec}(S^G)\) and \(\text{Spec}(S*G)\), and hence between certain finite collections of primes of \(S^G\) and \(G\)-orbits of primes of \(S\). This correspondence is studied in detail, particular emphasis being put on the case where \(G\) is a finite \(q\)-group for some prime \(q\), and \(S\) has characteristic \(q\).
