In this paper we define polynomials on a locally compact Abelian group G and prove the equivalence of our definition with that of Domar. We explore the properties of polynomials and determine their spectra. We also characterise the primary ideals of certain Beurling algebras on the group of integers Z. This allows us to classify those elements of that have finite spectrum. If ϕ is a uniformly continuous function with bounded differences then there is a Beurling algebra naturally associated with ϕ. We give a condition on the spectrum of ϕ relative to this algebra which ensures that ϕ is bounded. Finally we give spectral conditions on a bounded function on ℝ that ensure that its indefinite integral is bounded.
