The ring of polynomials integral-valued over a finite set of integral elements
Abstract
Let be an integral domain with quotient field and a finite subset of . McQuillan proved that the ring of polynomials in which are integer-valued over , that is, such that , is a Pr\"ufer domain if and only if is Pr\"ufer. Under the further assumption that is integrally closed, we generalize his result by considering a finite set of a -algebra which is finitely generated and torsion-free as a -module, and the ring of integer-valued polynomials over , that is, polynomials over whose image over is contained in . We show that the integral closure of is equal to the contraction to of , for some finite subset of integral elements over contained in an algebraic closure of , where is the integral closure of in . Moreover, the integral closure of is Pr\"ufer if and only if is Pr\"ufer. The result is obtained by means of the study of pullbacks of the form , where is a monic non-constant polynomial over : we prove that the integral closure of such a pullback is equal to the ring of polynomials over which are integral-valued over the set of roots of in .
