In this paper we are interested in studying the properties of Armendariz, Baer, quasi-Baer, p.p. and p.q.-Baer over skew PBW extensions. Using a notion of compatibility, we generalize several propositions established for Ore extensions and present new results for several noncommutative rings which can not be expressed as Ore extensions (universal enveloping algebras, diffusion algebras, and others). 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

In the context of noncommutative rings, more exactly polynomial extensions known as Ore extensions B [x; σ, δ] of injective type, i.e., when σ is injective, we found several works (cf. [10,5,6,7,13,19,8,9,17,18,15,16]). Some of these works consider the case δ = 0 and σ an automorphism, or the case where σ is the identity. It is important to say that the Baerness and quasi-Baerness of a ring B and an Ore extension B[x; σ, δ] of B do not depend on each other. More exactly, there are examples which show that there exists a Baer ring B but the Ore extension B[x; σ, δ] is not right p.q.-Baer; similarly, there exist Ore extensions B[x; σ, δ] which are quasi-Baer, but B is not quasi-Baer (see [19] for more details).One of the most important kinds of rings for which all the above properties have been studied are the σ-rigid rings (cf. [24,19,18]). Following Krempa [24], an endomorphism σ of a ring B is called rigid if aσ(a) = 0 implies a = 0, for a ∈ B, and a ring B is said to be σ-rigid, if there exists a rigid endomorphism σ of B. One can see that any rigid endomorphism of a ring is a monomorphism, and σ-rigid rings are reduced rings ([19, p. 218]). With the aim of generalizing the σ-rigid rings in the context of Ore extensions, in [2] Annin introduced the notion of compatibility: a ring B is called σ-compatible if for every a, b ∈ B, we have ab = 0 if and only if aσ(b) = 0 (necessarily, the endomorphism σ is injective); B is called δ-compatible if for each a, b ∈ B, ab = 0 ⇒ aδ(b) = 0. If B is both σ-compatible and δ-compatible, B is called (σ, δ)-compatible. Note that σ-rigid rings are (σ, δ)compatible rings ([15, Lemma 3.3]), but the converse is false ([15, Examples 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3]). Nevertheless, Hashemi et al., in [16, Lemma 2.2], showed that a ring B is (σ, δ)-compatible and reduced if and only if B is σ-rigid. Hence σ-compatible rings generalize σ-rigid rings for the case where B is not assumed to be reduced. All the above properties have been also studied for (σ, δ)-compatible rings: in [16] it was imposed the (σ, δ)-compatibility on the ring B and it was proved that (i) the ring B is quasi-Baer if and only if B[x; σ, δ] is quasi-Baer; (ii) the ring B is left p.q.-Baer if and only if B[x; σ, δ] is left p.q.-Baer. In this way, the treatment in [16] is a generalization of [6, Theorem 1.8] and [9, Theorem 3.1].With all the above facts in mind, a natural question for a given class of Baer, quasi-Baer, p....
