\(sp\)-groups and their endomorphism rings (Q2036476): Difference between revisions

A mixed abelian group \(G\) is called an \(sp\)-group if it can be embedded in a natural way in the direct product of its primary components. In the present paper, the authors provide a comprehensive study of these groups, with a special attention to the case of mixed groups of finite torsion-free rank. Moreover, the paper contains a very detailed and useful study of the class of rings of pseudo-rational integers (associated to some characteristics). These rings are very useful in the study of \(sp\)-groups since there are some equivalences between categories of \(sp\)-groups and categories of (finitely generated) modules over rings of pseudo-rational integers, [\textit{A.
