Abstract There are many Noetherian-like rings. Among them, we are interested in SFT-rings, piecewise Noetherian rings, and rings with Noetherian prime spectrum. Some of them are stable under polynomial extensions but none of them are stable under power series extensions. We give partial answers to some open questions related with stabilities of such rings. In particular, we show that any mixed extensions R [ X 1 〛 ⋯ [ X n 〛 over a zero-dimensional SFT ring R are also SFT-rings, and that if R is an SFT-domain such that R / P is integrally closed for each prime ideal P of R, then R [ X ] is an SFT-ring. We also give a direct proof that if R is an SFT Prufer domain, then R [ X 1 , ⋯ , X n ] is an SFT-ring. Finally, we show that the power series extension R 〚 X 〛 over a Prufer domain R is piecewise Noetherian if and only if R is Noetherian.
