Formal Power Series Over Strongly Hopfian Rings

Pages 279-291 | Received 14 Apr 2009, Published online: 20 Jan 2011
 

Abstract

A commutative ring R is said to be strongly Hopfian if the chain of annihilators ann(a) ⊆ ann(a 2) ⊆ … stabilizes for each a ∈ R. In this article, we are interested in the class of strongly Hopfian rings and the transfer of this property from a commutative ring R to the ring of the power series R[[X]]. We provide an example of a strongly Hopfian ring R such that R[[X]] is not strongly Hopfian. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions for R[[X]] to be strongly Hopfian.
