Let G be an Abelian group. A binary relation ≥ denned in G is called an order of G if for each x, y, z ε G,(i) x ≥ y or y ≥ x (and hence x ≥ x);(ii) x ≥ y and y ≥ x ⇒ x = y,(if x ≥ y and x ≠ y, we write x > y);(iii) x ≥ y and y ≥ z ⇒ x = z;(iv) z ≥ y ⇒ x + z ≥ y + z.

We define the concept of an [Formula: see text]-co-Hopfian abelian group, which is a nontrivial generalization of the classical notion of a co-Hopfian group. A systematic and comprehensive study of these groups is given in very different ways. Specifically, a representation theorem for [Formula: see text]-co-Hopfian groups is established as well as it is shown that there exists an [Formula: see text]-co-Hopfian group which is not co-Hopfian.

AbstractWe define perpendicularity in an Abelian group G as a binary relation satisfying certain five axioms. Such a relation is maximal if it is not a subrelation of any other perpendicularity in G. A motivation for the study is that the poset (𝒫, ⊆) of all perpendicularities in G is a lattice if G has a unique maximal perpendicularity, and only a meet-semilattice if not. We study the cardinality of the set of maximal perpendicularities and, on the other hand, conditions on the existence of a unique maximal perpendicularity in the following cases: G ≅ ℤn, G is finite, G is finitely generated, and G = ℤ ⊕ ℤ ⊕ ⋯. A few such conditions are found and a few conjectured. In studying ℝn, we encounter perpendicularity in a vector space.

A divisible abelian group D can be characterized by the following property: Every homomorphism from an abelian group A to D can be extended to every abelian group B containing A. This together with the result that every abelian group can be embedded in a divisible group is a crucial point in many investigations on abelian groups. It was Baer, [1], who extended this result to modules over an arbitrary ring, replacing divisible groups by injective modules, that is, modules with the property mentioned above. Another proof was found later by Eckmann and Schopf, [3]. This proof assumes the proposition to hold for abelian groups and transfers it in a very simple and elegant manner to modules. In the sequel, we shall refer to this proof as to the Eckmann-Schopf proof.

For each pointed abelian group $(A,c)$, there is an associated Galkin quandle $G(A,c)$ which is an algebraic structure defined on $\Bbb Z_3\times A$ that can be used to construct knot invariants. It is known that two finite Galkin quandles are isomorphic if and only if their associated pointed abelian groups are isomorphic. In this paper we classify all finite pointed abelian groups. We show that the number of nonisomorphic pointed abelian groups of order $q^n$ ($q$ prime) is $\sum_{0\le m\le n}p(m)p(n-m)$, where $p(m)$ is the number of partitions of integer $m$.

By examining whether the individualistic assumptions used in social choice could be used in the aggregation of individual preferences, Arrow proved a key lemma that generalizes the famous Szpilrajn’s extension theorem and used it to demonstrate the impossibility theorem. In this paper, I provide a characterization of Arrow’s result for the case in which the binary relations I extend are not necessarily transitive and are defined on abelian groups. I also give a characterization of the existence of a realizer of a binary relation defined on an abelian group. These results also generalize the well-known extension theorems of Szpilrajn, Dushnik-Miller, and Fuchs.

Abstract Extending a result by Alon, Linial, and Meshulam to abelian groups, we prove that if G is a finite abelian group of exponent m and S is a sequence of elements of G such that any subsequence of S consisting of at least $$|S| - m\ln |G|$$ elements generates G, then S is an additive basis of G . We also prove that the additive span of any l generating sets of G contains a coset of a subgroup of size at least $$|G{|^{1 - c{ \in ^l}}}$$ for certain c=c(m) and $$ \in = \in (m) < 1$$ ; we use the probabilistic method to give sharper values of c(m) and $$ \in (m)$$ in the case when G is a vector space; and we give new proofs of related known results.

AbstractLet G be an abelian group. The aim of this short paper is to describe a way to identify pure subgroups H of G by looking only at how the subgroup lattice $$\mathcal {L}(H)$$ L ( H ) embeds in $$\mathcal {L}(G)$$ L ( G ) . It is worth noticing that all results are carried out in a local nilpotent context for a general definition of purity.

Let Λ be a commutative local uniserial ring of length n, p be a generator of the maximal ideal, and k be the radical factor field. The pairs (B, A) where B is a finitely generated Λ-module and A ⊆B a submodule of B such that pmA = 0 form the objects in the category [Formula: see text]. We show that in case m = 2 the categories [Formula: see text] are in fact quite similar to each other: If also Δ is a commutative local uniserial ring of length n and with radical factor field k, then the categories [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are equivalent for certain nilpotent categorical ideals [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. As an application, we recover the known classification of all pairs (B, A) where B is a finitely generated abelian group and A ⊆ B a subgroup of B which is p2-bounded for a given prime number p.
