The constructive theory of countable abelian p-groups

Fred Richman

Vol. 45 (1973), No. 2, 621–637
Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop the theory of abelian p-groups along constructive lines. To this end a constructive theory of ordinal numbers and an axiomatic treatment of the notion of height are presented. The classical theorems of Zippin and Ulm concerning existence and uniqueness of countable p-groups with prescribed invariants are proved in a finitistic setting.
