Cobalanced exact sequences
We prove that if is an Abelian -group of length not exceeding and is its -projective subgroup for such that is countable, then is also -projective. This enlarges results of ours in (Arch. Math. (Brno), 2005, 2006 and 2007) as well as a classical result due to Wallace (J. Algebra, 1971).
As is well known, torsion abelian groups are not preserved by localization functors. However, Libman proved that the cardinality of LT is bounded by whenever T is torsion abelian and L is a localization functor. In this paper we study localizations of torsion abelian groups and investigate new examples. In particular we prove that the structure of LT is determined by the structure of the localization of the primary components of T in many cases. Furthermore, we completely characterize the relationship...
An exact sequence of torsion-free abelian groups is quasi-balanced if the induced sequence is exact for all rank-1 torsion-free abelian groups . This paper sets forth the basic theory of quasi-balanced sequences, with particular attention given to the case in which is a Butler group. The special case where 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...
