The Jacobson Radical of an Endomorphism Ring for an Abelian Group

  • Published:
Algebra and Logic Aims and scope

Abstract

The Jacobson radical of an endomorphism ring is computed for a completely decomposable torsion-free Abelian group and for a mixed Abelian group in one class of mixed groups. For the latter case, we also look into the question when a factor ring w.r.t. the radical is regular in the sense of Nuemann.
