Polynomials inducing the zero function on chain rings

Abstract

We provide a minimal set of generators for the ideal of polynomials in R[x] that map the maximal ideal into one of its powers n, where (R,) is a discrete valuation ring with a finite residue field. We use this to provide a minimal set of generators for the ideal of polynomials in R[x] that send to zero, where (R,) is a finite commutative local principal ideal ring.
