Abstract: Some polynomials $P$ with rational coefficients give rise to well defined maps between cyclic groups, $$, $$. More generally, there are polynomials in several variables with tuples of rational numbers as coefficients that induce maps between commutative groups. We characterize the polynomials with this property, and classify all maps between two given finite commutative groups that arise in this way. We also provide interpolation formulas and a Taylor-type theorem for the calculation of polynomials that describe given maps.

Review text

If \(f(X)\) is an integral-valued polynomial with rational coefficients and \(m,n\) are positive integers, then \(\Phi\colon a\mapsto f(a)\bmod n\) is a map from \(\mathbb Z\) to the cyclic group \(\mathbb Z_n\). If it happens that the value \(\Phi(a)\) depends only on the residue \(a\bmod m\), then \(\Phi\) induces a map \(\Psi\colon\mathbb Z_m\to\mathbb Z_n\) of cyclic groups. If \(A,B\) are arbitrary finite Abelian groups, then writing them as direct sums of the same number \(r\) of cyclic groups (with some trivial factors, if necessary) one can obtain in a similar way mappings \(A\to B\) induced by integral-valued polynomials in \(r\) variables. The author studies properties of the mappings obtained in this way and presents their classification.
