Abstract:

Let the p-primary abelian group G be the set-theoretic union of a countable collection of isotype subgroups ${H_n}$ of countable length. We prove that if ${H_n}$ is totally projective for each n, then G must be totally projective. In particular, an ascending sequence of isotype and totally projective subgroups of countable length leads to a totally projective group. The result generalizes and complements a number of theorems appearing in various articles in the recent literature. Several applications of the main result are presented.
