Abstract:
We prove that every fully invariant subgroup of a $p$-local Warfield abelian group is the direct sum of a Warfield group and an $S$-group. This solves a problem posed some time ago by R. B. Warfield, and finalizes recent work of M. Lane concerning the fully invariant subgroups of balanced projective groups.References
