Abstract: Linear recursions of degree k are determined by evaluating the sequence of Generalized Fibonacci Polynomials, Fk,n(t1,...,tk) (isobaric reflects of the complete symmetric polynomials) at the integer vectors (t1,...,tk). If Fk,n(t1,...,tk)=fn, then f_n - sum_{j=1}^k t_j f_{n-j} = 0, and fn is a linear recursion of degree k. On the one hand, the periodic properties of such sequences modulo a prime p are discussed, and are shown to be rela ted to the prime structure of certain algebraic number fields; for example, the arithmetic properties of the period ar e shown to characterize ramification of primes in an extension field. On the other hand, the structure of the semiloca l rings associated with the number field is shown to be completely determined by Schur-hook polynomials.
