Recently, a great deal of attention has been paid to the concept of quasipure injectivity introduced by L. Fuchs as Problem 17 in [5]. An abelian group G is said to be quasi-pure-injective (q.p.i.) if every homomorphism from a pure subgroup of G to G can be lifted to an endomorphism of G. D. M. Arnold, B. O'Brien and J. D. Reid have succeeded in [1] to characterize torsion free q.p.i. of finite rank, whereas in [2] we solved the torsion case and in [3] we studied certain classes of infinite rank torsion free q.p.i. groups.

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.

Let G be a torsion-free abelian group of finite rank n and let F be a full free subgroup of G. Then G/F is isomorphic to T1 ⊕ … ⊕ Tn, where T1 ⊆ T2 ⊆ … ⊆ Tn ⊆ ℚ/ℤ. It is well known that type T1 = inner type G and type Tn = outer type G. In this note we give two characterisations of type Ti for 1 < i < n.

Let A be an abelian group, let ∧ = End (A), and assume that A is a flat left ∧-module. Then σ = { right ideals I ⊂ ∧ | IA = A} generates a linear topology oil ∧. We prove that Hom(A,·) is an equivalence from the category of those groups B ⊂ An satisfying B = Hom(A, B)A, onto the category of σ-closed submodules of finitely generated free right ∧-modules. Applications classify the right ideal structure of A, and classify torsion-free groups A of finite rank which are (nearly) isomorphic to each A-generated subgroup of finite index in A.

Using Lambek torsion as the torsion theory, we investigate the question of when an Abelian group G is torsion as a module over its endomorphism ring E. Groups that are torsion modules in this sense are called ℒ-torsion. Among the classes of torsion and truly mixed Abelian groups, we are able to determine completely those groups that are ℒ-torsion. However, the case when G is torsion free is more complicated. Whereas no torsion-free group of finite rank is ℒ-torsion, we show that there are large classes of torsion-free groups of infinite rank that are ℒ-torsion. Nevertheless, meaningful definitive criteria for a torsion-free group to be ℒ-torsion have not been found.

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.

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.
