Abstract

We give necessary and sufficient conditions on an Ore extension \(A[x;\sigma ,\delta ]\), where A is a finite dimensional algebra over a field \({\mathbb {F}}\), for being a Frobenius extension of the ring of commutative polynomials \({\mathbb {F}}[x]\). As a consequence, as the title of this paper highlights, we provide a negative answer to a problem stated by Caenepeel and Kadison.
