Almost Completely Decomposable Torsion-Free Abelian Groups

  • Chapter
Abelian Groups and Modules

Part of the book series: Mathematics and Its Applications ((MAIA,volume 343))

Abstract

The torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank are the additive subgroups of finite-dimensional vector spaces over the field ℚ of rational numbers. In the following “group” will mean torsion-free abelian group of finite rank unless specifically modified.
