Review text

Summary: Nicholson defined a ring to be clean if every element is the sum of a unit and an idempotent. A module is clean if its endomorphism algebra is clean. We show that torsion-complete Abelian \(p\)-groups are clean and characterize the clean groups among the class of totally projective \(p\)-groups. An example is given of a clean \(p\)-group which is neither totally projective nor torsion-complete.
