Abstract:
If is a subring of a Krull ring such that is a valuation ring for every finite index , in Spec, we construct polynomials that map into the maximal possible (for a monic polynomial of fixed degree) power of , for all in Spec simultaneously. This gives a direct sum decomposition of Int, the -module of polynomials with coefficients in the quotient field of that map into , and a criterion when Int has a regular basis (one consisting of 1 polynomial of each non-negative degree).
