Torsion-Free Groups of Infinite Rank

Abstract: This chapter continues the theme of torsion-free groups, this time for the infinite rank case. There is no shortage of relevant results.After a short discussion of direct decompositions of countable torsion-free groups, we enter the study of slender groups which display remarkable phenomena. We provide the main results on this class of groups. Much can be said about separable and vector groups. These seem theoretically close to completely decomposable groups, but are less tractable, and so more challenging. Th… Show more

“…Let G be a non-trivial pseudocompact torsion Abelian group. Then G is bounded torsion [7,Corollary 3.9], and so there exists a finite set P of prime numbers such that G = p∈P G p , where G p is a non-trivial (bounded torsion) p-group for every p ∈ P ; see [11,Theorem 17.2].…”

“…Since both g and f are monomorphisms, so is h; see [8, Lemma 3.10 (ii)]. Since T σ is divisible, there exists a homomorphism ϕ : G → T σ extending h; see [11,Theorem 21.1]. Since H is essential in G by Lemma 6.1 and h is a monomorphism, ϕ is a monomorphism as well; see [8,Lemma 3.5].…”
