Integral elements modulo powers of two-sided ideals #

A monic relation modulo a two-sided ideal I gives a monic relation modulo every power I^n: raise the original polynomial to the n-th power. This works in noncommutative algebras because polynomials in a single element with central coefficients can be evaluated multiplicatively. It allows finiteness arguments using integral generators to survive passage to smaller ideals.

Integrality of an element modulo a two-sided ideal implies integrality modulo every power of that ideal. No commutativity of the ambient algebra is needed.
