In this paper we study integral extensions of noncommutative rings. To begin, we prove that finite subnormalizing extensions are integral. This is done by proving a generalization of the Paré-Schelter result that a matrix ring is integral over the coefficient ring. Our methods are similar to those of Lorenz and Passman, who showed that finite normalizing extensions are integral. As corollaries we note that the (twisted) smash product over the restricted enveloping algebra of a finite dimensional restricted Lie algebra is integral over the coefficient ring and then prove a Going Up theorem for prime ideals in these ring extensions. Next we study automorphisms of rings. In particular, we prove an integrality theorem for algebraic automorphisms. Combining group gradings and actions, we show that if a ringR is graded by a finite groupG, andH is a finite group of automorphisms ofR that permute the homogeneous components, with the order ofH invertible inR, thenR is integral overR 1 , the fixed ring of the identity component. This, in turn, is used to prove our final result: Suppose that ifH is a finite dimensional semisimple cocommutative Hopf algebra over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. IfR is anH-module algebra, thenR is integral overR H , its subring of invariants.
