Let B be a torsion-free Abelian group of finite rank with OT(B) = type(Q). This paper gives necessary and sufficient conditions for such a group B to be a finitely faithful S-group with the property that every finite rank pure subgroup of a group A with Ext( A, B) torsion-free is B-cobalanced in A. Several applications of this result are given. In particular, we classify the torsion-free groups A of finite rank such that Ext ( A, B) is torsion-free in the case that B is an irreducible Murley group.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
