    An adjoint functor pair is examined in connection with localizations for abelian groups. The left adjoint functor sends an abelian group \(A\) to an inverse local diagram \({\mathcal L}(A):= \{\mathbb{Z}_{(p)} \otimes A\to \mathbb{Q}\otimes A\}\) for \(p\) primes and the right adjoint applies the inverse limit to such diagrams. The author shows that the corresponding natural map \(c:A\to \varprojlim {\mathcal L} (A)\) is an isomorphism iff \(A\) has torsion at only finitely many primes. An analogue study is done for arithmetic systems \({\mathcal S}(A):= \{\mathbb{Q}\otimes A\to \mathbb{Q}\otimes A^\wedge\leftarrow A^\wedge\}\) and for local systems \({\mathcal {LS}} (A):= \{\mathbb{Q}\otimes A\to \mathbb{Q}\otimes (\prod \mathbb{Z}_{(p)} \otimes A)\leftarrow \prod (\mathbb{Z}_{(p)} \otimes A)\}\). For a fixed abelian group \(A\), the author gives an answer to the genus problem of identifying all those groups \(B\) for which the local diagrams are isomorphic.
