that map Z into Z. We consider a generalization of integer-valued polynomials where
elements of Q [X] act on sets such as rings of algebraic integers or the ring of n× n matrices
with entries in Z. The collection of polynomials thus produced is a subring of Int (Z), and the
principal question we consider is whether it is a Prüfer domain. This question is answered
affirmatively for algebraic integers and negatively for matrices, although in the latter case …
