Torsion-free covers are considered for objects in the category Objects in the category are just maps in -Mod. For we find necessary and sufficient conditions for the coGalois group associated to a torsion-free cover, to be trivial for an object in Our results generalize those of E. Enochs and J. Rado for abelian groups.
The notions of nearly-maximal and near Frattini subgroups considered by J.B. Riles in [20] and the natural related notions are characterized for abelian groups.
The notion of adjoint entropy for endomorphisms of an Abelian group is somehow dual to that of algebraic entropy. The Abelian groups of zero adjoint entropy, i.e. ones whose endomorphisms all have zero adjoint entropy, are investigated. Torsion groups and cotorsion groups satisfying this condition are characterized. It is shown that many classes of torsionfree groups contain groups of either zero or infinite adjoint entropy. In particular, no characterization of torsionfree groups of zero adjoint...
In this article we characterize those abelian groups for which the coGalois group (associated to a torsion free cover) is equal to the identity.
We study a class of abelian groups that can be defined as Polish pro-countable groups, as non-archimedean groups with a compatible two-sided invariant metric or as quasi-countable groups, i.e., closed subdirect products of countable discrete groups, endowed with the product topology. We show that for every non-locally compact, abelian quasi-countable group G there exists a closed L ≤ G and a closed, non-locally compact K ≤ G/L which is a direct product of discrete countable groups....
Let G be an Abelian group and let μ: A → G and ν: B → G be finitely additive measures (charges) defined on fields A and B of subsets of a set X. It is assumed that μ and ν agree on A ∩ B, i.e. they are consistent. The existence of common extensions of μ and ν is investigated, and conditions on A and B facilitating such extensions are given.
