contents We study Noether's normalization lemma for finitely generated algebras over a division algebra. In its classical form, the lemma states that if $I$ is a proper ideal of the ring $R=F[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ of polynomials over a field $F$, then the quotient ring $R/I$ is a finite extension of a polynomial ring over $F$. We prove that the lemma holds when $R=D[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ is the ring of polynomials in $n$ central variables over a division algebra $D$. We provide examples demonstrating that Noether's normalization may fail for the skew polynomial ring $D[t_1,\ldots,t_n;σ_1,\ldots,σ_n]$ with respect to commuting automorphisms $σ_1,\ldots,σ_n$ of $D$. We give a sufficient condition for $σ_1,\ldots,σ_n$ under which the normalization lemma holds for such ring. In the case where $D=F$ is a field, this sufficient condition is proved to be necessary.

We study Noether's normalization lemma for finitely generated algebras over a division algebra. In its classical form, the lemma states that if $I$ is a proper ideal of the ring $R=F[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ of polynomials over a field $F$, then the quotient ring $R/I$ is a finite extension of a polynomial ring over $F$. We prove that the lemma holds when $R=D[t_1,\ldots,t_n]$ is the ring of polynomials in $n$ central variables over a division algebra $D$. We provide examples demonstrating that Noether's normalization may fail for the skew polynomial ring $D[t_1,\ldots,t_n;σ_1,\ldots,σ_n]$ with respect to commuting automorphisms $σ_1,\ldots,σ_n$ of $D$. We give a sufficient condition for $σ_1,\ldots,σ_n$ under which the normalization lemma holds for such ring. In the case where $D=F$ is a field, this sufficient condition is proved to be necessary.
