On rings of integer-valued rational functions

Abstract

Let DBD\subseteq B be an extension of integral domains and EE a subset of the quotient field of DD. We introduce the ring of \textit{DD-valued BB-rational functions on EE}, denoted by IntBR(E,D)Int^R_B(E,D), which naturally extends the concepts of integer-valued polynomials, defined as IntBR(E,D)={fB(X);  f(E)D}. Int^R_B(E,D) \:=\lbrace f \in B(X);\; f(E)\subseteq D\rbrace. The notion of IntBR(E,D)Int^R_B(E,D) boils down to the usual notion of integer-valued rational functions when the subset EE is infinite. In this paper, we aim to investigate various properties of these rings, such as prime ideals, localization, and the module structure. Furthermore, we study the transfer of some ring-theoretic properties from IntR(E,D)Int^R(E,D) to DD.
