Endomorphism rings of abelian groups

  • Chapter
Abelian Group Theory

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Mathematics ((LNM,volume 1006))

Abstract

This is the summary of a survey-lecture I gave at the Honolulu-Conference on Abelian Groups in 1982/83. As a final goal we want to derive a very general and quite satisfactory extension of Corner’s theorem on topological endomorphism rings. In doing so, we will explain how this investigation fits into the recent results on endomorphism rings.
