Factorization of rings of integer-valued rational functions

Abstract:

D e c l a r e M a t h O p e r a t o r I n t I n t D e c l a r e M a t h O p e r a t o r I n t R I n t^{e} x t R

For a domain

D

, the ring

I n t (D)

of integer-valued polynomials over

D

is atomic if

D

satisfies the ascending chain condition on principal ideals. However, even for a discrete valuation domain

V

, the ring

I n t R (V)

of integer-valued rational functions over

V

is antimatter. We introduce a family of atomic rings of integer-valued rational functions and study various factorization properties on these rings.
