In the class of reduced Abelian torsion-free groups G of finite rank, we describe T I-groups, this means that every associative ring on G is filial. If every associative multiplication on G is the zero multiplication, then G is called a nil a -group. It is proved that a reduced Abelian torsionfree group G of finite rank is a T I-group if and only if G is a homogeneous Murley group or G is a nil a -group. We also study the interrelations between the class of homogeneous Murley groups and the class of nil a -groups. For any type t = (∞, ∞, . . .) и every integer n > 1, there exist 2 ℵ 0 pairwise nonquasi-isomorphic homogeneous Murley groups of type t and rank n which are nil a -groups. We describe types t such that there exists a homogeneous Murley group of type t which is not a nil a -group.
