Abelian C-minimal groups

Macpherson and Steinhorn (Macpherson and Steinhorn, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 79 (1996) 165–209) introduce some variants of the notion of o-minimality. One of the most interesting is C-minimality, which provides a natural setting to study algebraically closed-valued fields and some valued groups. In this paper we go further in the study of the structure of C-minimal valued groups, giving a partial characterization in the abelian case. We obtain the following principle: for abelian valued groups G for which the valuation satisfies some kind of compatibility with the multiplication by any prime number p, being C-minimal is equivalent to the o-minimality of the expansion of the chain of valuations by the maps induced by the multiplication by each prime number in G, and by some unary predicates controlling the cardinality of the residual structures. This result is quite nice, because the class considered contains all the natural examples of abelian C-minimal valued groups of (Macpherson and Steinhorn, Ann. Pure Appl. Logic 79 (1996) 165–209), and allows us to find many more examples.     

Coverings of Abelian groups and vector spaces

We study the question how many subgroups, cosets or subspaces are needed to cover a finite Abelian group or a vector space if we have some natural restrictions on the structure of the covering system. For example we determine, how many cosets we need, if we want to cover all but one element of an Abelian group. This result is a group theoretical extension of the theorem of Brouwer, Jamison and Schrijver about the blocking number of an affine space. We show that these covering problems are closely related to combinatorial problems, including the so-called additive basis conjecture, the three-flow conjecture, and a conjecture of Alon, Jaeger and Tarsi about nowhere zero vectors.     

On locally free Abelian groups

The following result is proved in the paper. An Abelian group A is Lw₁, w-equivalent to the free Abelian group of countable rank if and only if it is a countably free Abelian group.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 1, 2005, pp. 121–126.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by E.

On multiplication groups of relatively free quasigroups isotopic to Abelian groups

If Q is a quasigroup that is free in the class of all quasigroups which are isotopic to an Abelian group, then its multiplication group Mlt Q is a Frobenius group. Conversely, if Mlt Q is a Frobenius group, Q a quasigroup, then Q has to be isotopic to an Abelian group. If Q is, in addition, finite, then it must be a central quasigroup (a T-quasigroup).This work was supported by institutional grant MSM 113200007, and by Grant Agency of Czech Republic, grant number 201/99/0263.     

A-Solvability and Mixed Abelian Groups

An abelian group A is an S-group (S ⁺-group) if every subgroup B ≤ A of finite index is A-generated (A-solvable). This article discusses some of the differences between torsion-free S-groups and mixed S-groups, and studies (mixed) S- and S ⁺-groups, which are self-small and have finite torsion-free rank.

On a cardinal group invariant related to decompositions of Abelian groups

For each Abelian groupG, a cardinal invariant χ(G) is introduced and its properties are studied. In the special caseG = ℤ ⁿ , the cardinalχ(ℤ ⁿ ) is equal to the minimal cardinality of an essential subset of ℤ ⁿ , i.e., a of a subsetA ⊂ ℤ ⁿ such that, for any coloring of the group ℤ ⁿ inn colors, there exists an infinite one-color subset that is symmetric with respect to some pointα ofA. The estimaten( ^{n +} l)/2 ≤χ(ℤ ⁿ ) < 2n is proved for alln and the relationχ(ℤ ⁿ ) =n(n + 1)/2 forn ≤ 3. The structure of essential subsets of cardinalityχ(ℤ ⁿ ) in ℤ ⁿ is completely described forn ≤ 3. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 64, No. 3, pp. 341–350, September, 1998.     

Definability of Completely Decomposable Torsion-Free Abelian Groups by Groups of Homomorphisms

Let C be an Abelian group. An Abelian group A in some class of Abelian groups is said to be _C H-definable in the class if, for any group B\in , it follows from the existence of an isomorphism Hom(C,A) Hom(C,B) that there is an isomorphism A B. If every group in is _C H-definable in , then the class is called an _C H-class. In the paper, conditions are studied under which a class of completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian groups is a _C H-class, where C is a completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian group.     

Limit theorems on locally compact Abelian groups

We prove limit theorems for row sums of a rowwise independent infinitesimal array of random variables with values in a locally compact Abelian group. First we give a proof of Gaiser's theorem [4, Satz 1.3.6], since it does not have an easy access and it is not complete. This theorem gives sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, but the limit measure cannot have a nondegenerate idempotent factor. Then we prove necessary and sufficient conditions for convergence of the row sums, where the limit measure can be also a nondegenerate Haar measure on a compact subgroup. Finally, we investigate special cases: the torus group, the group of p ‐adic integers and the p ‐adic solenoid. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Solitary subgroups of Abelian groups

Since solitary subgroups of (infinite) Abelian groups are precisely the strictly invariant subgroups which are co-Hopfian (as groups), and strictly invariant subgroups turn out to be strongly invariant for large classes of Abelian groups we determine the solitary subgroups for these classes of groups.     

The Heyde theorem for locally compact Abelian groups

We prove a group analogue of the well-known Heyde theorem where a Gaussian measure is characterized by the symmetry of the conditional distribution of one linear form given another. Let X be a locally compact second countable Abelian group containing no subgroup topologically isomorphic to the circle group T, G be the subgroup of X generated by all elements of order 2, and Aut(X) be the set of all topological automorphisms of X. Let αj,βj∈Aut(X), j=1,2,…,n, n?2, such that for all i≠j. Let ξj be independent random variables with values in X and distributions μj with non-vanishing characteristic functions. If the conditional distribution of L₂=β₁ξ₁+?+βnξn given L₁=α₁ξ₁+?+αnξn is symmetric, then each μj=γj∗ρj, where γj are Gaussian measures, and ρj are distributions supported in G.
