Prime radicals of formal power series rings
Let \(R[X]\) and \(RX\) denote respectively the ring of polynomials and the ring of formal power series in a set \(X\) of commuting indeterminates with coefficients in a ring \(R\). It is shown that if any one of the three rings \(R\), \(R[X]\), \(RX\) is semi-prime then so also are the other two. The paper then considers the condition that the prime radical of a ring is nilpotent, with a typical result being that this property is a Morita invariant.
