Torsion-free Abelian groups with cyclic p-basic subgroups

We investigate the structure of indecomposable torsion-free Abelian groups all of whose p-basic subgroups are cyclic, and also the structure of the groups and rings of endomorphisms of such groups. We prove the existence of a torsion-free Abelian group of countable rank with cyclic p-basic subgroups which has no indecomposable nonzero direct summands.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 20, No. 6, pp. 805–813, December, 1976.     

Abelian Groups and Regular Modules

The structure of the additive group of a regular module is considered. Abelian groups that are regular modules over their rings of endomorphisms are studied. Nonreduced endoregular groups and endoregular torsion-free groups of finite rank are described.     

Abelian groups with normal endomorphism rings

A ring is said to be normal if all of its idempotents are central. It is proved that a mixed group A with a normal endomorphism ring contains a pure fully invariant subgroup G ⊕ B, the endomorphism ring of a group G is commutative, and a subgroup B is not always distinguished by a direct summand in A. We describe separable, coperiodic, and other groups with normal endomorphism rings. Also we consider Abelian groups in which the square of the Lie bracket of any two endomorphisms is the zero endomorphism. It is proved that every central invariant subgroup of a group is fully invariant iff the endomorphism ring of the group is commutative.     

Criterion for Invertibility of Endomorphisms and Test Rank of Metabelian Products of Abelian Groups

Let G be a finitely generated torsion-free group, which is a metabelian product of Abelian groups. We establish a criterion for endomorphisms satisfying some extra restriction to be invertible in G. Test sets for IA-endomorphisms of G are described and its test rank computed.     

Torsion-free modules with UA-rings of endomorphisms

An associative ring R is called a unique addition ring (UA-ring) if its multiplicative semigroup (R, · ) can be equipped with a unique binary operation+ transforming the triple (R, ·, +) to a ring. An R-module A is said to be an End-UA-module if the endomorphism ring End _R (A) of A is a UA-ring. In the paper, the torsion-free End-UA-modules over commutative Dedekind domains are studied. In some classes of Abelian torsion-free groups, the Abelian groups having UA-endomorphism rings are found.     

Determination of the Direct Sums of Rational Groups by H-Representations of the Endomorphism Rings up to Equality

The problem of determination of Abelian groups (up to isomorphism) by their rings of endomorphisms in the class of completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian groups has been solved earlier. For the class of direct sums of rational groups, one can speak of determination of Abelian groups by rational representations of their endomorphism rings up to equality. In this paper, we consider this problem for the class of finite direct sums of rational groups and for some subclasses.     

The question of the definability of Abelian groups by the centers of their endomorphism rings

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for an Abelian group in the class of completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian groups of a chosen finite rank to be definable in this class by the center of the endomorphism ring of the group.     

The Jacobson Radical of an Endomorphism Ring for an Abelian Group

The Jacobson radical of an endomorphism ring is computed for a completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian group and for a mixed Abelian group in one class of mixed groups. For the latter case, we also look into the question when a factor ring w.r.t. the radical is regular in the sense of Nuemann.     

Abelian RE-Groups

Mathematical Notes - An Abelian group on which every nonzero ring is isomorphic to the ring of endomorphisms of this group is called an RE-group. In the present paper, the RE-groups are described...     

Complete direct sums of Abelian torsion-free groups of rank 1 with isomorphic groups or rings of endomorphisms. I

Isomorphism conditions are established for torsion-free Abelian groups with isomorphic groups or rings of endomorphisms decomposable into complete direct sums of groups of rank 1.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 14, No. 6, pp. 867–878, December, 1973.     

On Quasi-Regular Torsion-Free Modules

A torsion-free module is called quasi-regular if each cyclic submodule is a quasi-summand. This article characterizes torsion-free Abelian groups that are quasi-regular as modules over a subring of their endomorphism ring. In particular, if G is a torsion-free Abelian group such that its ring Q E of quasi-endomorphisms is Artinian, then the left E-module G is quasi-regular if and only if the left C-module G is quasi-regular, where C is the center of its endomorphism ring E.     

Torsion-free groups and modules with the involution property

An Abelian group or module is said to have the involution property if every endomorphism is the sum of two automorphisms, one of which is an involution. We investigate this property for completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian groups and modules over the ring of p-adic integers.     

Abelian groups as endomorphic modules over their endomorphism ring

Let R be an associative ring with a unit and N be a left R-module. The set M _R(N) = {f: N → N | f(rx) = rf(x), r ∈ R, x ∈ N} is a near-ring with respect to the operations of addition and composition and contains the ring E _R(N) of all endomorphisms of the R-module N. The R-module N is endomorphic if M _R(N) = E _R(N). We call an Abelian group endomorphic if it is an endomorphic module over its endomorphism ring. In this paper, we find endomorphic Abelian groups in the classes of all separable torsion-free groups, torsion groups, almost completely decomposable torsion-free groups, and indecomposable torsion-free groups of rank 2. __________ Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 13, No. 1, pp. 229–233, 2007.     

Ordering groups constructively

The existence of a linear order on a group that is compatible with the group structure generally requires transfinite methods. However, this can be circumvented by concentrating on the consistency of a suitable propositional theory. To this end, we work with Scott’s multiple-conclusion entailment relations to describe the positive cones of a group. The commutative case then leads to a constructive version of Levi’s theorem that an Abelian group be orderable if and only if it is torsion-free. Subsequently, Cederquist and Coquand’s fundamental theorem of entailment relations prompts a finitary version of Sikora’s theorem.     

Armendariz group rings

For a torsion or torsion-free group G and a field F, we characterize the group algebra FG that is Armendariz. Armendariz property for a group ring over a general ring R is also studied and related to those of Abelian group rings and the quaternion ring over R.     

The group PSL(2,q) is not the multiplication group of a loop

ABSTRACT

We introduce the notion of weak transitivity for torsion-free abelian groups. A torsion-free abelian group G is called weakly transitive if for any pair of elements x, y ∈ G and endomorphisms ?, ψ ∈ End(G) such that x? = y, yψ = x, there exists an automorphism of G mapping x onto y. It is shown that every suitable ring can be realized as the endomorphism ring of a weakly transitive torsion-free abelian group, and we characterize up to a number-theoretical property the separable weakly transitive torsion-free abelian groups.     

Constructive Matrix and Orderable Groups

We study into the relationship between constructivizations of an associative commutative ring K with unity and constructivizations of matrix groups GL _n(K) (general), SL _n(K) (special), and UT _n(K) (unitriangular) over K. It is proved that for n 3, a corresponding group is constructible iff so is K. We also look at constructivizations of ordered groups. It turns out that a torsion-free constructible Abelian group is orderly constructible. It is stated that the unitriangular matrix group UT _n(K) over an orderly constructible commutative associative ring K is itself orderly constructible. A similar statement holds also for finitely generated nilpotent groups, and countable free nilpotent groups.     

幺半群上的斜强可逆环

For a monoid M, we introduce the concept of skew strongly M-reversible rings which is a generalization of strongly M-reversible rings, and investigate their properties. It is shown that if G is a finitely generated Abelian group, then G is torsion-free if and only if there exists a ring R with |R| ≥ 2 such that R is skew strongly G-reversible. Moreover, we prove that if R is a right Ore ring with classical right quotient ring Q, then R is skew strongly M-reversible if and only if Q is skew strongly M-reversible.     

Idempotents in $$F_+(G)$$F+(G)

In this paper, we compute the idempotents of the ring $$F_+(G)$$ as defined by Boltje (J Algebra 206:293–343, 1998) in the particular case when the Green biset functor F is such that for all subgroups H of a finite group G, F(H) is a torsion-free ring, finitely-generated as an Abelian group, and has only the trivial idempotents. In this case, the only idempotents in $$F_+(G)$$ are those arising from the Burnside ring B(G).
