Abstract

top
B ( 1 ) -groups are a class of torsionfree Abelian groups of finite rank, part of the main class of Butler groups. In the paper C. Metelli, On direct sums of B ( 1 ) -groups, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolinae 34 (1993), 587–591, the problem of direct sums of B ( 1 ) -groups was discussed, and a necessary and sufficient condition was given for the direct sum of two B ( 1 ) -groups to be a B ( 1 ) -group. While sufficiency holds, necessity was wrongly claimed; we solve here the problem, and in the process study a curious hierarchy among indecomposable direct summands of B ( 1 ) -groups.

AB - $\operatorname{B}^{(1)}$-groups are a class of torsionfree Abelian groups of finite rank, part of the main class of Butler groups. In the paper C. Metelli, On direct sums of $\operatorname{B}^{(1)}$-groups, Comment. Math. Univ. Carolinae 34 (1993), 587–591, the problem of direct sums of $\operatorname{B}^{(1)}$-groups was discussed, and a necessary and sufficient condition was given for the direct sum of two $\operatorname{B}^{(1)}$-groups to be a $\operatorname{B}^{(1)}$-group. While sufficiency holds, necessity was wrongly claimed; we solve here the problem, and in the process study a curious hierarchy among indecomposable direct summands of $\operatorname{B}^{(1)}$-groups.
