Inverse limit slender groups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Classically, an abelian group G is said to be slender if every homomorphism from the countable product mathbbZmathbbN to G factors through the projection to some finite product mathbbZn. Various authors have proposed generalizations to non-commutative groups, resulting in a plethora of similar but not completely equivalent concepts. In the first part of this work we present a unified treatment of these concepts and examine how are they related. In the second part of the paper we study slender groups in the context of co-small objects in certain categories, and give several new applications including the proof that certain homology groups of Barratt-Milnor spaces are cotorsion groups and a universal coefficients theorem for v{C}ech cohomology with coefficients in a slender group.
