Abstract
The purpose of this survey is to provide an introduction to the interesting role which set-theoretic methods have begun to play in the problem of determining the structure and classification of certain classes of abelian groups, in particular, the class of ω1-separable groups, i.e., groups such that every countable subset is contained in a Σ -cyclic summand.
