Integer-Valued Polynomials on Krull Rings

Abstract: Let R be a subring of a Krull ring S such that for every ideal Q of finite index in R that is the restriction of a prime ideal of height 1 of S, the localization R_Q is a valuation ring. Using sequences of ring elements with nice distribution properties with respect to residue classes of ideals of S (later called P-orderings), we construct polynomials in R[x] that map R into the maximal possible (for a monic polynomial of fixed degree) power of PS_P, for all height 1 prime ideals P of S simultaneously.

This gives a direct sum decomposition of Int(R,S), the S-module of polynomials with coefficients in the quotient field of S that map R into S, and a criterion when Int(R,S) has a regular basis (one consisting of 1 polynomial of each non-negative degree).
