Self--injective abelian groups
Assuming the continuum hypothesis, we construct a pure subgroup G of the Baer-Specker group with the following properties. Every endomorphism of G differs from a scalar multiplication by an endomorphism of finite rank. Yet G has uncountably many homomorphisms to ℤ.

In the present article,the p-primary components Up(PG) and S(PG) of the groups of units U(PG) and V(PG) are classified for some major classes of abelian groups. Suppose K is a first kind field with respect to p in char K ≠ p and A is an abelian p-group. In the present work, the p-primary...
