Abstract:

Let $A= ({A_1},\ldots ,{A_n})$ be an $n$-tuple of subgroups of the additive group, $Q$, of rational numbers and let $G(A)$ be the kernel of the summation map ${A_1} \oplus \cdots \oplus {A_n} \to \sum \;{A_i}$ and $G[A]$ the cokernel of the diagonal embedding $\cap {A_1} \to {A_1} \oplus \cdots \oplus {A_n}$. A complete set of isomorphism invariants for all strongly indecomposable abelian groups of the form $G(A)$, respectively, $G[A]$, is given. These invariants are then extended to complete sets of isomorphism invariants for direct sums of such groups and for a class of mixed abelian groups properly containing the class of Warfield groups.
