Abstract: Assume V=L and lambda is regular smaller than the first weakly compact cardinal. Under those circumstances and with arbitrary requirements on the structure of Ext(G,Z) (under well known limitations), we construct an abelian group G of cardinality lambda such that for no G' subseteq G, |G'|< lambda is G/G' free and Ext(G,Z) realizes our requirements.

Review text

Main theorem (\(V=L\)): Suppose that \(\lambda\) is an uncountable regular cardinal which is smaller than the first weakly compact cardinal. Let \(\lambda_p\leq\lambda^+\) for each prime \(p\). Then there exists a (torsion-free Abelian) strongly \(\lambda\)-free group \(G\) such that \(\|G\|=\lambda\), \(\nu_p(G)=\lambda_p\) and \(\nu_0(G)=\lambda^+\). Here \(\nu_p(G)\) and \(\nu_0(G)\) denote the torsion-free rank respectively the \(p\)-ranks of \(G\) and \(\|X\|\) the cardinal number. A construction principle true if \(V=L\) which is stronger than \(\diamondsuit^+\) is proved and used. Only for `connaisseurs'! Remark: The study of the structure of Ext has a long history already. For an excellent reference see `Almost free modules. Set-theoretic methods' (1990; Zbl 0718.20027) by \textit{P. C. Eklof, A. H. Mekler}.
