Review text

An Abelian group \(A\) is called `minimal' if it is isomorphic to all its subgroups of finite index. These groups were introduced by \textit{B. Goldsmith} and \textit{S. Ó. hÓgáin} [Rocky Mt. J. Math. 32, No. 4, 1451-1465 (2002; Zbl 1040.20043)]. In the present paper the authors study the dual notion (an Abelian group \(A\) is called `co-minimal' if and only if \(A\cong A/K\) whenever \(K\) is a finite subgroup of \(A\)), and they characterize co-minimal groups which belong to important classes of groups such as totally projective \(p\)-groups (Theorem 8), separable \(p\)-groups (Corollary 3), totally projective groups of torsion free rank 1 with primary torsion part (Theorem 9), Axiom 3 modules (Theorem 10). Moreover, very interesting and useful examples are presented: e.g. in Theorem 8 it is proved that a totally projective \(p\)-group \(G\) of length \(\tau\) is co-minimal if and only if every Ulm-Kaplansky invariant \(f_\alpha(G)\) with \(\alpha<\tau\) is infinite. In Theorem 12, arbitrarily large \(p\)-groups \(G\) which are not co-minimal such that they are of length \(\omega+1\) and \(f_\alpha(G)\) is infinite for all \(\alpha<\omega+1\) are constructed.
