Primary Abelian groups modulo finite groups

Ronald J. Ensey

Vol. 29 (1969), No. 1, 77–81
Abstract

Let 𝒜 be the category of Abelian groups, the Serre class of finite Abelian groups, and form the quotient category 𝒜. The purpose of this paper is to find a complete set of invariants for direct sums of countable reduced p-groups, such groups being considered as objects of the category 𝒜. Specifically, it will be shown that two direct sums of countable reduced p-groups G and H are isomorphic in 𝒜if and only if

fG(α) = fH(α) for almost all ordinal numbers α,

and

fG(α) ⁄= fH(α) implies max (fG (α ),fH (α )) < ℵ0.
