Abstract

Let S*G be a skew group ring of a finite group G over a ring S. It is shown that if S*G is an G-Galois extension of (S*G)G, where G is the inner automorphism group of S*G induced by the elements in G, then S is a G-Galois extension of SG. A necessary and sufficient condition is also given for the commutator subring of (S*G)G in S*G to be a Galois extension, where (S*G)G is the subring of the elements fixed under each element in G.
