Abstract
If [Formula: see text] is a finite commutative ring, it is well known that there exists a nonzero polynomial in [Formula: see text] which is satisfied by every element of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we classify all commutative rings [Formula: see text] such that every element of [Formula: see text] satisfies a particular monic polynomial. If the polynomial, satisfied by the elements of [Formula: see text], is not required to be monic, then we can give a classification only for Noetherian rings, giving examples to show that the characterization does not extend to arbitrary commutative rings.
