We use the Aron-Berner extension to prove that the set of extreme points of the unit ball of the space of integral polynomials over a real Banach space $X$ is $\{\pm \phi^k: \phi \in X^*, \| \phi\|=1\}$. With this description we show that, for real Banach spaces $X$ and $Y$, if $X$ is a non trivial $M$-ideal in $Y$, then $\hat\bigotimes^{k,s}_{\epsilon_{k,s}} X$ (the $k$-th symmetric tensor product of $X$ endowed with the injective symmetric tensor norm) is \emph{never} an $M$-ideal in $\hat\bigotimes^{k,s}_{\epsilon_{k,s}} Y$. This result marks up a difference with the behavior of non-symmetric tensors since, when $X$ is an $M$-ideal in $Y$, it is known that $\hat\bigotimes^k_{\epsilon_k} X$ (the $k$-th tensor product of $X$ endowed with the injective tensor norm) is an $M$-ideal in $\hat\bigotimes^k_{\epsilon_k} Y$. Nevertheless, if $X$ is Asplund, we prove that every integral $k$-homogeneous polynomial in $X$ has a unique extension to $Y$ that preserves the integral norm. We explicitly describe this extension. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions (related with the continuity of the Aron-Berner extension morphism) for a fixed $k$-homogeneous polynomial $P$ belonging to a maximal polynomial ideal $\Q(^kX)$ to have a unique norm preserving extension to $\Q(^kX^{**})$. To this end, we study the relationship between the bidual of the symmetric tensor product of a Banach space and the symmetric tensor product of its bidual and show (in the presence of the BAP) that both spaces have `the same local structure'. Other applications to the metric and isomorphic theory of symmetric tensor products and polynomial ideals are also given.
