On weakly quasipure injective groups. (Q2473715)

An Abelian group \(A\) is called weakly quasipure injective (wqpi) if for every pure subgroup \(G\leq A\), every endomorphism of \(G\) can be extended to an endomorphism of \(A\). In the present paper the author proves some basic properties of this kind of groups and describes some wqpi torsion-free groups. For example, if a torsion group is wqpi then \(A/A^1\) is torsion-complete (Proposition 4 (2)); a reduced torsion-free group \(A\) of \(p\)-rank 1 for all primes \(p\) is wqpi if and only if \(\bigoplus_{pA\neq A}A_p\leq A\leq\prod_{pA\neq A}A_p\), \(A\) is a pure and fully invariant subgroup of \(\prod_{pA\neq A}A_p\) and every \(A_p\) is a tight wqpi-group (Theorem 10).
