Abstract: In this paper some classes of local polynomial functions on abelian groups are characterized by the properties of their variety. For this characterization we introduce a numerical quantity depending on the variety of the local polynomial only. Moreover, we show that the known characterization of polynomials among generalized polynomials can be simplified: a generalized polynomial is a polynomial if and only if its variety contains finitely many linearly independent additive functions.

Review text

The authors of the paper under review consider polynomials and generalized polynomials on abelian groups. They call generalized polynomials that are not polynomials \textit{fake polynomials}. For a complex-valued function \(f\) on an abelian group \(G\), the authors denote by \(\tau(f)\) the smallest translation invariant subspace that is closed under pointwise convergence. The authors prove that if \(f\) is a fake polynomial, then the linear span of all additive functions in \(\tau(f)\) is infinite-dimensional.
