Integer-Valued Polynomials over Matrix Rings

When D is a commutative integral domain with field of fractions K, the ring Int(D) = {f ∈ K[x] | f(D) ? D} of integer-valued polynomials over D is well-understood. This article considers the construction of integer-valued polynomials over matrix rings with entries in an integral domain. Given an integral domain D with field of fractions K, we define Int(M _n (D)): = {f ∈ M _n (K)[x] | f(M _n (D)) ? M _n (D)}. We prove that Int(M _n (D)) is a ring and investigate its structure and ideals. We also derive a generating set for Int(M _n (?)) and prove that Int(M _n (?)) is non-Noetherian.
