Two nilpotent spaces are called clones if they have the same \(n\)-type for all \(n\) and their localisations at each prime are homotopy equivalent. There is a similar definition for clones of maps. The author gives examples of spaces for which the sets of clones are infinite (in some cases countable, in others uncountable). He also gives fairly general conditions under which constant maps and identity maps have non-trivial clones. In the course of his argument he proves a result concerning abelian groups, as follows. Let \(A\) be countable and torsion free, let \(\mathbb{Z}\) be the integers, and let \(\prod_ p \mathbb{Z}_{(p)}\) be the product of the localisations of \(\mathbb{Z}\) at primes. Then the obvious function \(\text{Ext}(A,\mathbb{Z}) \to \text{Ext}(A,\prod_ p \mathbb{Z}_{(p)})\) is always surjective, and its kernel is trivial if and only if \(\text{Ext}(A,\mathbb{Z})\) is trivial.
