In the paper under review, the author surveys some recent results of D.~Dikranjan, B.~Goldsmith, P.~Keef, P.~Zanardo and himself concerning abelian \(p\)-groups and their endomorphism rings. The major part of these results, which were published in twelve papers, are related to the following problems:\N\begin{itemize}\N\item [(i)] Characterize the reduced \(p\)-groups \(G\) such that every fully inert subgroup of \(G\) is commensurable with a fully invariant subgroup.\N\item [(ii)] For which groups \(G\) is a uniformly fully inert subgroup necessarily commensurable with a fully invariant subgroup?\N\item [(iii)] How many different non-trivial small pairs exists? (A pair \((\mathcal{A},\mathcal{C})\) of families of \(p\)-groups is called small if for any \(A \in \mathcal{A}\) and \(C \in \mathcal{C}\), the homomorphism group \(\Hom(A,C)\) consists entirely of small homomorphisms and \(\mathcal{A}\) and \(\mathcal{C}\) are maximal with respect to this property.)\N\item [(iv)] Characterize fully-thick and fully-thin groups, or, at least, determine classes of groups which are fully-thick or fully-thin.\N\end{itemize}\N\NAdditionally, some other questions and open problems in the field of abelian \(p\)-groups, which are close to these subjects, are mentioned and discussed. The paper offers a good presentation of the ideas and techniques used to obtain the results. Also, there is an extensive bibliography describing further developments.
