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.
