Countable Case

In (1) Baer studied the following problem: If a torsion-free abelian group G is a direct sum of groups of rank one, is every direct summand of G also a direct sum of groups of rank one? For groups satisfying a certain chain condition, Baer gave a solution. Kulikov, in (3), supplied an affirmative answer, assuming only that G is countable. In a recent paper (2), Kaplansky settles the issue by reducing the general case to the countable case where Kulikov's solution is applicable. As usual, the result extends to modules over a principal ideal ring R (commutative with unit, no divisors of zero, every ideal principal).The object of this paper is to carry out a similar investigation for pure submodules, a somewhat larger class of submodules than the class of direct summands. We ask: if the torsion-free i?-module M is a direct sum of modules of rank one, is every pure submodule N of M also a direct sum of modules of rank one? Unlike the situation for direct summands, here the answer depends heavily on the ring R.

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.

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∞).

According to well-known theorems of Kaplansky and Baer–Kulikov–Kapla nsky–Fuchs (4, 2), the class of direct sums of countable Abelian groups and the class of direct sums of torsion-free Abelian groups of rank 1 are both closed under the formation of direct summands. In this note I give an example to show that the class of direct sums of torsion-free Abelian groups of finite rank does not share this closure property: more precisely, there exists a torsion-free Abelian group G which can be written both as a direct sum G = A⊕B of 2 indecomposable groups A, B of rank ℵ0 and as a direct sum G = ⊕n ε zCn of ℵ0 indecomposable groups Cn (nεZ) of rank 2, where Z is the set of all integers.

The neutrosophic triplets in neutrosophic rings ⟨ Q ∪ I ⟩ and ⟨ R ∪ I ⟩ are investigated in this paper. However, non-trivial neutrosophic triplets are not found in ⟨ Z ∪ I ⟩ . In the neutrosophic ring of integers Z ∖ { 0 , 1 } , no element has inverse in Z. It is proved that these rings can contain only three types of neutrosophic triplets, these collections are distinct, and these collections form a torsion free abelian group as triplets under component wise product. However, these collections are not even closed under component wise addition.

In the previous paper [3] the author has shown a possibility to construct a series of sfields by taking sfields of quotients of split crossed products of a sfield. In this paper the same problem is treated, and, by considering general crossed products, a generalization of the previous result is given: Let K be a sfield and G be the join of a well-ordered ascending chain of groups Gα of outer automorphisms of K such that a) G1 is the identity automorphism group, b) Gα is a group extension of Gα-1 by a torsion-free abelian group for each non-limit ordinal α, and c) for each limit ordinal α. Then an arbitrary crossed product of K with G is an integral domain with a sfield of quotients Q and the commutor ring of K in Q coincides with the centre of K.

Throughout this discussion R will be an integral domain with quotient field Q and K = Q/R ≠ 0. If A is an R-module, then A is said to be torsion-free (resp. divisible), if for every r ≠ 0 ∈ R the endomorphism of A defined by x → rx, x ∈ A, is a monomorphism (resp. epimorphism). If A is torsion-free, the rank of A is defined to be the dimension over Q of the vector space A ⊗R Q; (we note that a torsion-free R-module of rank one is the same thing as a non-zero R-submodule of Q). A will be said to be indecomposable, if A has no proper, non-zero, direct summands. We shall say that A has D.C.C., if A satisfies the descending chain condition for submodules. By dim R we shall mean the maximal length of a chain of prime ideals in R.
