    Full text link
    We show that every Dedekind domain RR lying between the polynomial rings Z[X]\mathbb Z[X] and Q[X]\mathbb Q[X] with the property that its residue fields of prime characteristic are finite fields is equal to a generalized ring of integer-valued polynomials, that is, for each prime pZp\in\mathbb Z there exists a finite subset EpE_p of transcendental elements over Q\mathbb Q in the absolute integral closure Zp\overline{\mathbb Z_p} of the ring of pp-adic integers such that R={fQ[X]f(Ep)Zp, prime pZ}R=\{f\in\mathbb Q[X]\mid f(E_p)\subseteq \overline{\mathbb Z_p}, \forall \text{ prime }p\in\mathbb Z\}. Moreover, we prove that the class group of RR is isomorphic to a direct sum of a countable family of finitely generated abelian groups. Conversely, any group of this kind is the class group of a Dedekind domain RR between Z[X]\mathbb Z[X] and Q[X]\mathbb Q[X].Comment: to appear in the Pacific Journal of Math. (2023

    Integral-valued polynomials over sets of algebraic integers of bounded degree

    Full text link
    Let KK be a number field of degree nn with ring of integers OKO_K. By means of criterion of Gilmer for polynomially dense subsets of the ring of integers of a number field, we show that, if hinK[X]hin K[X] maps every element of OKO_K of degree nn to an algebraic integer, then h(X)h(X) is integral-valued over OKO_K, that is h(OK)subsetOKh(O_K)subset O_K. A similar property holds if we consider the set of all algebraic integers of degree nn and a polynomial finQ[X]finQ[X]: if f(alpha)f(alpha) is integral over ZZ for every algebraic integer alphaalpha of degree nn, then f(eta)f(eta) is integral over ZZ for every algebraic integer etaeta of degree smaller than nn. This second result is established by proving that the integral closure of the ring of polynomials in Q[X]Q[X] which are integer-valued over the set of matrices Mn(Z)M_n(Z) is equal to the ring of integral-valued polynomials over the set of algebraic integers of degree equal to nn

    Primary decomposition of the ideal of polynomials whose fixed divisor is divisible by a prime power

    Full text link
    We characterize the fixed divisor of a polynomial f(X)f(X) in Z[X]\Z[X] by looking at the contraction of the powers of the maximal ideals of the overring \IZ containing f(X)f(X). Given a prime pp and a positive integer nn, we also obtain a complete description of the ideal of polynomials in Z[X]\Z[X] whose fixed divisor is divisible by pnp^n in terms of its primary components

    Let VV be a valuation domain of rank one and quotient field KK. Let abKabK be a fixed algebraic closure of the vv-adic completion KK of KK and let abVabV be the integral closure of VV in abKabK. We describe a relevant class of valuation domains WW of the field of rational functions K(X)K(X) which lie over VV, which are indexed by the elements alphainabKcupinftyalphainabKcup{infty}, namely, the valuation domains W=Walpha=arphiinK(X)midarphi(alpha)inabVW=W_{alpha}={arphiin K(X) mid arphi(alpha)inabV}. If VV is discrete and piinVpiin V is a uniformizer, then a valuation domain WW of K(X)K(X) is of this form if and only if the residue field degree [W/M:V/P][W/M:V/P] is finite and piW=Mepi W=M^e, for some egeq1egeq 1, where MM is the maximal ideal of WW. In general, for alpha,etainabKalpha,etainabK we have Walpha=WetaW_{alpha}=W_{eta} if and only if alphaalpha and etaeta are conjugated over KK. Finally, we show that the set PirrPirr of irreducible polynomials over KK endowed with an ultrametric distance introduced by Krasner is homeomorphic to the space WalphamidalphainabK{W_{alpha} mid alphainabK} endowed with the Zariski topology

    Factorization of Integer-Valued Polynomials with Square-Free Denominator

    Full text link
    We describe an algorithm to compute the different factorizations of a given image primitive integer-valued polynomial f(X) = g(X)/d ∈ Q[X], where g ∈ Z[X] and d ∈ N is square-free, assuming that the factorizations of g(X) in Z[X] and d in Z are known. We translate this problem into a combinatorial one

    The ring of polynomials integral-valued over a finite set of integral elements

    Full text link
    Let DD be an integral domain with quotient field KK and Ω\Omega a finite subset of DD. McQuillan proved that the ring \Int(\Omega,D) of polynomials in K[X]K[X] which are integer-valued over Ω\Omega, that is, fK[X]f\in K[X] such that f(Ω)Df(\Omega)\subset D, is a Pr\"ufer domain if and only if DD is Pr\"ufer. Under the further assumption that DD is integrally closed, we generalize his result by considering a finite set SS of a DD-algebra AA which is finitely generated and torsion-free as a DD-module, and the ring \Int_K(S,A) of integer-valued polynomials over SS, that is, polynomials over KK whose image over SS is contained in AA. We show that the integral closure of \Int_K(S,A) is equal to the contraction to K[X]K[X] of \Int(\Omega_S,D_F), for some finite subset ΩS\Omega_S of integral elements over DD contained in an algebraic closure \olK of KK, where DFD_F is the integral closure of DD in F=K(ΩS)F=K(\Omega_S). Moreover, the integral closure of \Int_K(S,A) is Pr\"ufer if and only if DD is Pr\"ufer. The result is obtained by means of the study of pullbacks of the form D[X]+p(X)K[X]D[X]+p(X)K[X], where p(X)p(X) is a monic non-constant polynomial over DD: we prove that the integral closure of such a pullback is equal to the ring of polynomials over KK which are integral-valued over the set of roots Ωp\Omega_p of p(X)p(X) in K\overline K

    Parametrization of integral values of polynomials

    Full text link
    We will recall a recent result about the classification of those polynomial in one variable with rational coefficients whose image over the integer is equal to the image of an integer coefficients polynomial in possibly many variables. These set is polynomially generated over the integers by a family of polynomials whose denominator is 22 and they have a symmetry with respect to a particular axis. We will also give a description of the linear factors of the bivariate separated polynomial f(X)f(Y)f(X)-f(Y) over a number field KK, which we need to formulate a conjecture for a generalization of the previous result over a generic number fiel

    Metrizability of spaces of valuation domains associated to pseudo-convergent sequences

    Full text link
    Let V be a valuation domain of rank one with quotient field K. We study the set of extensions of V to the field of rational functions K(X) induced by pseudo-convergent sequences of K from a topological point of view, endowing this set either with the Zariski or with the constructible topology. In particular, we consider the two subspaces induced by sequences with a prescribed breadth or with a prescribed pseudo-limit. We give some necessary conditions for the Zariski space to be metrizable (under the constructible topology) in terms of the value group and the residue field of V

    The lattice of primary ideals of orders in quadratic number fields

    Full text link
    Let OO be an order in a quadratic number field KK with ring of integers DD, such that the conductor \f = f D is a prime ideal of OO, where fZf\in\Z is a prime. We give a complete description of the \f-primary ideals of OO. They form a lattice with a particular structure by layers; the first layer, which is the core of the lattice, consists of those \f-primary ideals not contained in \f^2. We get three different cases, according to whether the prime number ff is split, inert or ramified in DD
