Pólya fields and Pólya numbers
A number field , with ring of integers , is said to be a Pólya field if the -algebra formed by the integer-valued polynomials on admits a regular basis. In a first part, we focus on fields with degree less than six which are Pólya fields. It is known that a field is a Pólya field if certain characteristic ideals are principal. Analogously to the classical embedding problem, we consider the embedding of in a Pólya field. We give a positive answer to this embedding problem by showing that...
