On locally compact abelian groups which are topologically pure in their Bohr compactifications
We extend a result of Rangaswamy about regularity of endomorphism rings of Abelian groups to arbitrary topological Abelian groups. Regularity of discrete quasi-injective modules over compact rings modulo radical is proved. A characterization of torsion LCA groups for which is regular is given.
Consider the four pairs of groups , , and , where , are locally compact second countable abelian groups, is a dense subgroup of with inclusion map from to continuous; is a closed subgroup of ; , are the duals of and respectively, and is the annihilator of in . Let the first co-ordinate of each pair act on the second by translation. We connect, by a commutative diagram, the systems of imprimitivity which arise in a natural fashion on each pair, starting with a system...
