delta constant sigma (Definition)

If $ (\sigma, \delta)$ is a skew derivation on a ring $ R$, then a $ (\sigma, \delta)$-constant is an element $ q$ of $ R$ such that $ \sigma(q)=q$ and $ \delta(q)=0$.

Note: If $ q$ is a $ (\sigma, \delta)$-constant, then it follows that $ \sigma(q \cdot x)=q \cdot \sigma(x)$ and $ \delta(q \cdot x)=q \cdot \delta(x)$ for all $ x$ in $ R$.
