Abstract: Let χ (x) ∈ Z [ x ] be a monic polynomial whose roots are distinct integers. We study the ideal class monoid and the ideal class group of the ring Z [ x ] / (χ (x)). We obtain formulas for the orders of these objects, and study their asymptotic behavior as the discriminant of χ (x) tends to infinity, in analogy with the Brauer-Siegel theorem. Finally, we describe the structure of the ideal class group when the degree of χ (x) is 2 or 3. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
