We continue this study by applying two recent constructions of free Baxter algebras. We investigate the basic structure of a free Baxter algebra, and characterize in detail when a free Baxter algebra is a domain or a reduced algebra. We also describe the nilpotent radical of a free Baxter algebra when it is not reduced.28 pagesRings and AlgebrasCommutative AlgebraCombinatoricsQuantum Algebra16A06, 47B99, 13A99,16W99text
