Abstract

Let KK be a number field of degree nn with ring of integers OKO_K. By means of a criterion of Gilmer for polynomially dense subsets of the ring of integers of a number field, we show that, if hK[X]h\in K[X] maps every element of OKO_K of degree nn to an algebraic integer, then h(X)h(X) is integral-valued over OKO_K, that is h(OK)OKh(O_K)\subset O_K. A similar property holds if we consider the set of all algebraic integers of degree nn and a polynomial fQ[X]f\in\mathbb{Q}[X]: if f(α)f(\alpha) is integral over Z\mathbb{Z} for every algebraic integer α\alpha of degree nn, then f(β)f(\beta) is integral over Z\mathbb{Z} for every algebraic integer β\beta of degree smaller than nn. This second result is established by proving that the integral closure of the ring of polynomials in Q[X]\mathbb{Q}[X] which are integer-valued over the set of matrices Mn(Z)M_n(\mathbb{Z}) is equal to the ring of integral-valued polynomials over the set of algebraic integers of degree equal to nn.
