Abstract: Ulm's Theorem presents invariants that classify countable abelian torsion groups up to isomorphism. Barwise and Eklof extended this result to the classification of arbitrary abelian torsion groups up to Linftyomega-equivalence. In this paper, we extend this classification to a class of mixed mathbbZp-modules which includes all Warfield modules and is closed under Linftyomega-equivalence. The defining property of these modules is the existence of what we call a partial decomposition basis, a generalization of the concept of decomposition basis. We prove a complete classification theorem in Linftyomega using invariants deduced from the classical Ulm and Warfield invariants.


This self-contained paper is another in a series of papers regarding related subjects (see e.g. [Rocky Mt. J. Math. 47, No. 2, 463--477 (2017; Zbl 1401.20062); Commun. Algebra 44, No. 8, 3262--3277 (2016; Zbl 1401.20060); Houston J. Math. 40, No. 4, 1007--1019 (2014; Zbl 1330.13010); Commun. Algebra 42, No. 10, 4333--4349 (2014; Zbl 1352.13006)]), by the authors. The aim is to extend Barwise and Eklof's classification of arbitrary torsion groups up to \(L_{\infty\omega}\)-equivalence to a class of mixed \(\mathbb Z_p\)-modules with partial decomposition basis. To this end the authors generalized the concept of decomposition basis for modules over PID's to that of partial decomposition basis. While the classification encompasses classification work of Warfield and Barwise-Eklof, the classification Theorem 4.7 seems to be in need of simplification (if possible) as it is in a user unfriendly form at the present state.
