The problem in which we are interested is the following. Call an additively written group G finitely decomposable if G = Σ Gi is the weak sum of finite groups Gi, Consider the following property.Property P. Each subgroup of G having cardinality less than G is contained in a finitely decomposable direct summand of G.Does Property P imply that G is finitely decomposable? We shall demonstrate that the answer is negative even in the commutative case. Our question is closely related to (1, Problem 5). In (4), an abelian group is called a Fuchs 5-group if every infinite subgroup of the group can be embedded in a direct summand of the same cardinality. The question of whether or not a Fuchs 5-group is in fact a direct sum of countable groups has been open for several years.

Interesting Connection

In this paper we shall investigate an interesting connection between the structure of G/S and G, where S is a purifiable subsocle of G. The results are interesting in the light of a counterexample by Dieudonné [3, p. 142] who exhibits a primary abelian group G, where G/S is a direct sum of cyclic groups, but G is not a direct sum of cyclic groups. Surprisingly, the assumption of the purifiability of S allows G to inherit the structure of G/S. In particular, we show that if G/S is a direct sum of cyclic groups and S supports a pure subgroup H, then G is a direct sum of cyclic groups and if is a direct summand of G which is of course a direct sum of cyclic groups. It is also shown that if G/S is a direct sum of torsion-complete groups and S supports a pure subgroup H, then G is a direct sum of torsion-complete groups and H is a direct summand of G, and is also a direct sum of torsion-complete groups.

G is reduced torsion-free A belian group such that for every direct sum ⊕G of copies of G, Ext(⊕G, ⊕G) = 0 if and only if G is a free module over a rank 1 ring. For every direct product ΠG of copies of G, Ext(ΠG,ΠG) = 0 if and only if G is cotorsion.This paper began as a Research Report of the Department of Mathematics of the University of Western Australia in 1988, and circulated among members of the Abelian group community. However, it was never submitted for publication. The results have been cited, widely, and since copies of the original research report are no longer available, the paper is presented here in its original form in Sections 1 to 5. In Section 6, I survey the progress that has been made in the topic since 1988.

UDC 512.5 Let R be a ring and let Ω R be the set of maximal right ideals of R . An R -module M is called an sd-Rickart module if for every nonzero endomorphism f of M , ℑ f is a fully invariant direct summand of M . We obtain a characterization for an arbitrary direct sum of sd-Rickart modules to be sd-Rickart. We also obtain a decomposition of an sd-Rickart R -module M , provided R is a commutative noetherian ring and A s s ( M ) ∩ Ω R is a finite set. In addition, we introduce and study ageneralization of sd-Rickart modules.

Coleman Automorphism

Let [Formula: see text] be an extension of a finite characteristically simple group by an abelian group or a finite simple group. It is shown that every Coleman automorphism of [Formula: see text] is an inner automorphism. Interest in such automorphisms arises from the study of the normalizer problem for integral group rings.

In this paper we consider again the group-theoretic configuration studied in (1) and (2). Let G be an additive group (not necessarily abelian), let M be a system of operators for G, and let ϕ be a family of admissible subgroups which form a complete lattice relative to intersection and compositum. Under these circumstances we call G an M — ϕ group. In (1) we studied the normal chains for an M — ϕ group and the relation between certain normal chains. In (2) we considered the possibility of representing an M — ϕ group as the direct sum of certain of its subgroups, and proved that with suitable restrictions on the M — ϕ group the analogue of the following theorem for finite groups holds: A group is the direct product of its Sylow subgroups if and only if it is nilpotent. Here we show that under suitable hypotheses (hypotheses (I), (II), and (III) stated at the beginning of §3) it is possible to generalize to M — ϕ groups many of the Sylow theorems of classical group theorem.

All groups herein are assumed to be abelian. It was not until the 1940's that it was known that a subgroup of an infinite direct sum of finite cyclic groups is again a direct sum of cyclics. This result rests on a general criterion due to Kulikov [7] for a primary abelian group to be a direct sum of cyclic groups. If G is p-primary, Kulikov's criterion presupposes that G has no elements (other than zero) having infinite p-height. For such a group G, the criterion is simply that G be the union of an ascending sequence of subgroups Hn where the heights of the elements of Hn computed in G are bounded by some positive integer λ(n). The theory of abelian groups has now developed to the point that totally projective groups currently play much the same role, at least in the theory of torsion groups, that direct sums of cyclic groups and countable groups played in combination prior to the discovery of totally projective groups and their structure beginning with a paper by R. Nunke [11] in 1967.

Special Case

In the course of investigating the structure of finite groups which have a representation in the form ABA, for suitable subgroups A and B, we have been forced to study groups G which admit an automorphism ϕ such that every element of G lies in at least one of the orbits under ϕ of the elements g, gϕr(g), gϕrϕ(g)ϕ2r(g), gϕr(g)ϕr2r(g)ϕ3r(g), etc., where g is a fixed element of G and r is a fixed integer.In a previous paper on ABA-groups written jointly with I. N. Herstein (4), we have treated the special case r = 0 (in which case every element of G can be expressed in the form ϕi(gj)), and have shown that if the orders of ϕ and g are relatively prime, then G is either Abelian or the direct product of an Abelian group of odd order and the quaternion group of order 8.

AbstractThe introduction of results from harmonic analysis leads to new methods in the study of the ergodic properties of measures under the action of the direct sum of finite groups. We take the first steps in a systematic development of part of ergodic theory based on the formalism of the Riesz product construction.

Throughout this paper, let p be a prime, P be a p-group of order pt , and ϕ be an isomorphism of a subgroup R of P of index p onto a subgroup Q which fixes no non-identity subgroup of P, setwise. In [2, Lemma 2.2], Glauberman shows that P can be embedded in a finite group G such that ϕ is effected by conjugation by some element g of G. We assume that P is thus embedded. Then Q = P ∩ Pg. Let H = 〈P,Pg〉 and V = [H,Z(Q)], so Q ⊲ H and V ⊲ H.Let E(p) be the non-abelian group of order p3 which is generated by two elements of order p. Then E(p) is dihedral if p = 2 and has exponent p if p is odd. If p is odd, then E* (p) is defined in § 2 to be a particular group of order p6 and nilpotence class three.

Equivalent Conditions

We introduce the notion of t-Rickart modules as a generalization of t-Baer modules. Dual t-Rickart modules are also defined. Both of these are generalizations of continuous modules. Every direct summand of a t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) module inherits the property. Some equivalent conditions to being t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) are given. In particular, we show that a module M is t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) if and only if M is a direct sum of a Z2-torsion module and a nonsingular Rickart (resp., dual Rickart) module. It is proved that for a ring R, every R-module is dual t-Rickart if and only if R is right t-semisimple, while every R-module is t-Rickart if and only if R is right Σ-t-extending. Other types of rings are characterized by certain classes of t-Rickart (resp., dual t-Rickart) modules.
