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