Abstract

top
We discuss local global principles for abelian groups by examining the adjoint functor pair obtained by (left adjoint) sending an abelian group A to the local diagram L(A) = {Z(p) ⊗ A → Q ⊗ A} and (right adjoint) applying the inverse limit functor to such diagrams; p runs through all integer primes. We show that the natural map A → lim L(A) is an isomorphism if A has torsion at only finitely many primes. If A is fixed we answer the genus problem of identifying all those groups B for which the local diagrams L(A) and L(B) are isomorphic. A similar analysis is carried out for the arithmetic systems S(A) = {Q⊗A → Q⊗A^ ← A^} and the local systems {Q⊗A → Q⊗(ΠZ(p)⊗A) ← Π(Z(p)⊗A)}. The delicate relationship between the various adjoint functor pairs described above is explained.
