Abstract
The *reciprocal complement* of an integral domain is the subring of its fraction field generated by the reciprocals of its nonzero elements. Many properties of are determined when is a polynomial ring in variables over a field. In particular, is an -dimensional, local, non-Noetherian, non-integrally closed, non-factorial, atomic G-domain, with infinitely many prime ideals at each height other than and .
