Infinite Rank Butler Groups

Abstract: Abstract. A torsion-free abelian group G is said to be a Butler group if Bext(C, T) = 0 for all torsion groups T. It is shown that Butler groups of finite rank satisfy what we call the torsion extension property (T.E.P.). A crucial result is that a countable Butler group G satisfies the T.E.P. over a pure subgroup H if and only if H is decent in G in the sense of Albrecht and Hill. A subclass of the Butler groups are the so-called B2-groups. An important question left open by Arnold, Bican, Salce, and others i… Show more

“…We apply induction on the cardinality k of H. If k < Nj , then replacing C, if necessary, by a suitable C(S) G C , we may assume that \C\ = k and then H is a 52-group by [DHR,Proposition 3.11]. Assume k > Ni and that the theorem holds for cardinalities < k. Suppose k is regular.…”

“…Various authors have constructed algebraic structures having prescribed endomorphism monoids (including the case of small automorphism groups); see, for instance, [4] for a survey on this problem for modules and fields. In [3], strict partial orders with large endomorphism monoid but small automorphism groups were used to solve a problem from universal algebra on Krasner clones.…”
