AbstractThis note investigates torsion-free abelian groups G of finite rank which embed, as subgroups of finite index, in a finite direct sum C of subgroups of the additive group of rational numbers. Specifically, we examine the relationship between G and C when the index of G in C is minimal. Some properties of Warfield duality are developed and used (in the case that G is locally free) to relate our results to earlier ones by Burkhardt and Lady.

AbstractA composition sequence for a torsion-free abelian group A is an increasing sequenceof pure subgroups with rank 1 quotients and union A. Properties of A can be described by the sequence of types of these quotients. For example, if A is uniform, that is all the types in some sequence are equal, then A is complete decomposable if it is homogeneous. If A has finite rank and all permutations ofone of its type sequences can be realized, then A is quasi-isomorphic to a direct sum of uniform groups.

In [Todor Tsankov, The additive group of the rationals does not have an automatic presentation, May 2009, arXiv:0905.1505v1], it was shown that the group of rational numbers is not FA-presentable, i.e. it does not admit a presentation by a finite automaton. More generally, any torsion-free abelian group that is divisible by infinitely many primes is not of this kind. In this article we extend the result from [13] and prove that any torsion-free FA-presentable abelian group G is an extension of a finite rank free group by a finite direct sum of Prüfer groups ℤ(p∞).

AbstractLet A be a torsion free abelian group. We say that a group K is a finite essential extension of A if K contains an essential subgroup of finite index which is isomorphic to A. Such K admits a representation as (A ℤ xkx)/ℤky where y = Nx + a for some k x k matrix N over Z and α ∈ Ak satisfying certain conditions of relative primeness and ℤk = {(α1,..., αk) : αi, ∈ ℤ}. The concept of absolute width of an f.e.e. K of A is defined and it is shown to be strictly smaller than the rank of A. A kind of basis substitution with respect to Smith diagonal matrices is shown to hold for homogeneous completely decomposable groups. This result together with general properties of our representations are used to provide a self contained proof that acd groups with two critical types are direct sum of groups of rank one and two.

Torsion Free

In the study of torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank the notions of irreducibility, field of definition and E-ring have played significant rôles. These notions are tied together in the following theorem of R. S. Pierce:THEOREM. Let R be a ring whose additive group is torsion free finite rank irreducible and let Γ be the centralizer of QR as a QE(R) module. Then Γ is the unique smallest field of definition of R. Moreover, Γ ∩ R is an E-ring, in fact, it is a maximal E-subring of R.In this paper we consider extensions of Pierce's result to the infinite rank case. This leads to the concept of local irreducibility for torsion free groups.
