On the divisor-class group of monadic submonoids of rings of integer-valued polynomials

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let R be a factorial domain. In this work we investigate the connections between the arithmetic of mInt(R) (i.e., the ring of integer-valued polynomials over R) and its monadic submonoids (i.e., monoids of the form for some for some nonzero finmInt(R)). Since every monadic submonoid of mInt(R) is a Krull monoid it is possible to describe the arithmetic of these monoids in terms of their divisor-class group. We give an explicit description of these divisor-class groups in several situations and provide a few techniques that can be used to determine them. As an application we show that there are strong connections between mInt(R) and its monadic submonoids. If R=mathbbZ or more generally if R has sufficiently many "nice" atoms, then we prove that the infinitude of the elasticity and the tame degree of mInt(R) can be explained by using the structure of monadic submonoids of mInt(R).
