Elementary equivalence of endomorphism rings and automorphism groups of periodic Abelian groups

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that the endomorphism rings EndA and EndA of periodic infinite Abelian groups A and A are elementarily equivalent if and only if the endomorphism rings of their p-components are elementarily equivalent for all primes p. Additionally, we show that the automorphism groups AutA and AutA of periodic Abelian groups A and A that do not have 2-components and do not contain cocyclic p-components are elementarily equivalent if and only if, for any prime p, the corresponding p-components Ap and Ap of A and A are equivalent in second-order logic if they are not reduced, and are equivalent in second-order logic bounded by the cardinalities of their basic subgroups if they are reduced. According to [11], for such groups A and A, their automorphism groups are elementarily equivalent if and only if their endomorphism rings are elementarily equivalent, and the automorphism groups of the corresponding p-components for all primes p are elementarily equivalent.
