Abstract:
An abelian -group is called (fully) transitive if for all with ( ) there exists an automorphism (endomorphism) of which maps onto . It is a long-standing problem of A. L. S. Corner whether there exist non-transitive but fully transitive -groups with finite first Ulm subgroup. In this paper we restrict ourselves to -groups of type , this is to say -groups satisfying . We show that the answer to Corner's question is no if is finite and is of type .
