Extensions of McCoy Rings

摘要

A ring R is said to be right McCoy if the equation f(x)g(x)=0,where f(x)and g(x)are nonzero polynomials of R[x],implies that there exists nonzero s∈R such that f(x)s=0.It is proven that no proper(triangular)matrix ring is one-sided McCoy.It is shown that for many polynomial extensions,a ring R is right McCoy if and only if the polynomial extension over R is right McCoy.
