Direct decompositions of LCA groups

From MaRDI portal





\textit{J. A. Khan} [Period. Math. Hung. 31, 43-44 (1995; Zbl 0845.22005)] constructed an LCA group \(G\) with finite torsion part that does not split topologically in \(G\). The author proves that a finite subgroup \(H\) of an LCA group \(G\) is a topological direct summand if and only if \(H\) is topologically pure (i.e., \(\overline{nH}= H\cap \overline{nG}\) for every positive integer \(n\), see \textit{N. Vilenkin} [Mat. Sb., New Ser. 19 (61), 85-154 (1946; Zbl 0061.04302); English translation in AMS Transl., Ser. 1, Vol. 23 (1950)]). The author characterizes also the LCA groups with splitting subgroup of all compact elements. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0921.00018].
