Almost free groups in varieties (Q5906442): Difference between revisions

The main result of this paper is the following Theorem: Let \(k\) be an uncountable regular cardinal, not weakly compact, and \(\mathcal V\) be an arbitrary variety of groups containing the variety of all abelian groups \(\mathcal A\). Then there exists an almost \(\mathcal V\)-free, but not \(\mathcal V\)- free group of rank \(k\).
