Abstract

Let DD be a Krull domain admitting a prime element with finite residue field and let KK be its quotient field. We show that for all positive integers kk and 1<n1nk1 < n_1 \leq \ldots \leq n_k there exists an integer-valued polynomial on DD, that is, an element of Int(D)={fK[X]f(D)D}\text{Int}(D) = \{ f \in K[X] \mid f(D) \subseteq D \}, which has precisely kk essentially different factorizations into irreducible elements of Int(D)\text{Int}(D) whose lengths are exactly n1,,nkn_1,\ldots,n_k. Using this, we characterize lengths of factorizations when DD is a unique factorization domain and therefore also in case DD is a discrete valuation domain. This solves an open problem proposed by Cahen, Fontana, Frisch and Glaz.
