A ring R is called Armendariz if whenever the product of any two polynomials in R[x] over R is zero, then so is the product of any pair of coefficients from the two polynomials. Such rings have been extensively studied in literature. For a ring endomorphism α, we introduce the notion of α-Armendariz rings by considering the polynomials in the skew polynomial ring R[x; α] in place of the ring R[x]. A number of properties of this generalization are established, and connections of properties of an α-Armendariz ring R with those of the ring R[x; α] are investigated. In particular, among other results, we show that there is a strong connection of the Baer property and the p.p.-property (principal ideals are projective) of the two rings, respectively. Several known results follow as consequences of our results.
