Quasi-balanced torsion-free groups

H. Pat Goeters, William Ullery (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

An exact sequence 0 A B C 0 of torsion-free abelian groups is quasi-balanced if the induced sequence 0 𝐐 Hom ( X , A ) 𝐐 Hom ( X , B ) 𝐐 Hom ( X , C ) 0 is exact for all rank-1 torsion-free abelian groups X . This paper sets forth the basic theory of quasi-balanced sequences, with particular attention given to the case in which C is a Butler group. The special case where B is almost completely decomposable gives rise to a descending chain of classes of Butler groups. This chain is a generalization of the chain of Kravchenko classes that arise from balanced...

Square subgroups of rank two abelian groups

A. M. Aghdam, A. Najafizadeh (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let G be an abelian group and ◻ G its square subgroup as defined in the introduction. We show that the square subgroup of a non-homogeneous and indecomposable torsion-free group G of rank two is a pure subgroup of G and that G/◻ G is a nil group.
