Algebraically compact group
- Algebraically compact group
In mathematics, in the realm of Abelian group theory, a group is said to be algebraically compact if it is a direct summand of every Abelian group containing it as a pure subgroup.
Equivalent characterizations of algebraic compactness:
* The group is complete in the adic topology.
* The group is "pure injective", that is, injective with respect to exact sequences where the embedding is as a pure subgroup.
Relations with other properties:
* A torsion-free group is cotorsion if and only if it is algebraically compact.
* Every injective group is algebraically compact.
* Ulm factors of cotorsion groups are algebraically compact.
