Abstract

Let R be a ring. We consider left (or right) principal quasi-Baerness of the left skew formal power series ring R[[x; α]] over R where α is a ring automorphism of R. We give a necessary and sufficient condition under which the ring R[[x; α]] is left (or right) principally quasi-Baer. As an application we show that R[[x]] is left principally quasi-Baer if and only if R is left principally quasi-Baer and the left annihilator of the left ideal generated by any countable family of idempotents in R is generated by an idempotent.
