The Duals Of Warfield Groups, Peter Loth Jan 1997

The Duals Of Warfield Groups, Peter Loth

Mathematics Faculty Publications

A Warfield group is a direct summand of a simply presented abelian group. In this paper, we describe the Pontrjagin dual groups of Warfield groups, both for the p-local and the general case. A variety of characterizations of these dual groups is obtained. In addition, numerical invariants are given that distinguish between two such groups which are not topologically isomorphic.
