A set \(A\) of objects in an additive category has the refinement property if every direct summand of a direct sum of objects in \(A\) is isomorphic to a direct sum of objects of \(A\). This situation is frequently considered in the theory of torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank, in which the refinement property can be used as a substitute for the Krull-Schmidt Theorem or Kaplansky's Test Problems. The author proves that various classes of finite rank torsion-free abelian groups have the refinement property in categories whose isomorphisms are near- or quasi-isomorphisms of abelian groups.
