On the Krull dimension of rings of integer-valued rational functions (2412.07931v1)

Abstract: Let $D$ be an integral domain with quotient field $K$ and $E$ a subset of $K$. The \textit{ring of integer-valued rational functions on} $E$ is defined as $$\mathrm{int}_R(E,D):=\lbrace \varphi \in K(X);\; \varphi(E)\subseteq D\rbrace.$$ The main goal of this paper is to investigate the Krull dimension of the ring $\mathrm{int}_R(E,D).$ Particularly, we are interested in domains that are either Jaffard or PVDs. Interesting results are established with some illustrating examples.
