Characterization of ideals of rhotrices over a ring and its applications

Abstract

We define higher order rhotrices over a commutative unital ring S and obtain a ring \mathcal{R}_n(S) of rhotrices of the order n \in \mathbb{N}. We characterize the ideals and maximal ideals of \mathcal{R}_n(S). As a particular case, we record ideals of rhotrix rings over integers and rhotrix algebras over complex plane \mathbb{C}. As an application, we characterize the maximal ideals of the commutative unital Banach algebra \mathcal{R}_n(\mathbb{C}).
