Abstract

In this article we give a description for the centralizer of the coefficient ring R in the skew PBW extension \(\sigma (R)<x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_n>\). We give an explicit description in the quasi-commutative case and state a necessary condition in the general case. We also consider the PBW extension \(\sigma (\mathcal {A})<x_1,x_2,\ldots ,x_n>\) of the algebra of functions with finite support on a countable set, describing the centralizer of \(\mathcal {A}\) and the center of the skew PBW extension.
