Abstract:
The category of sequences S has been introduced in [1,
2, 3]. Objects of the category S are finite sequences
of the form a1,…,an, where the elements
a1,…,an belong to a finitely presented module over
the ring of polyadic numbers ˆZ. The ring of polyadic
numbers ˆZ=∏pˆZp is the
product of the rings of p-adic integers over all prime numbers
p. Morphisms of the category S from the object
a1,…,an to an object b1,…,bk are all
possible pairs (φ,T), where φ:⟨a1,…,an⟩ˆZ→⟨b1,…,bk⟩ˆZ is a homomorphism of
ˆZ-modules, generated by given elements, and T is a
matrix of dimension k×n with integer entries such that the
following matrix equality takes place
(φa1,…,φan)=(b1,…,bk)T.
It is proved in [2] that the category S is equivalent
to the category D of mixed quotient divisible abelian
groups with marked bases. It is proved in [3] that the category
S is dual to the category F of
torsion-free finite-rank abelian groups with marked bases, a basis
means here a maximal linearly independent set of elements. The
composition of these equivalence and duality is the duality
introduced in [1] and in [4], which can be considered as a version
of the duality introduced in [5].
If an object of the category S consists of one
element, then it corresponds to rank-1 groups of the categories
D and F. This case is considered
in [6] and we obtain the following. The duality
S↔F gives us the classical
description by R. Baer [7] of rank-1 torsion-free groups. The
equivalence S↔D coincides with
the description by O.I. Davydova [8] of rank-1 quotient divisible
groups.
We consider another marginal case in the present paper. Every
torsion abelian group can be considered as a module over the ring
of polyadic numbers. Moreover, a torsion group is a finitely
presented ˆZ-module if and only if it is finite.
Thus, for every set of generators g1,…,gn of every
finite abelian group G the sequence g1,…,gn is an
object of the category S. Such objects determine a
complete subcategory of the category S.
We show in the present paper that the object g1,…,gn
of the category S corresponds to an object of the
category D, which is of the form G⊕Qn with
the marked basis g1+e1,…,gn+en, where
e1,…,en is the standard basis of the vector space
Qn over the field of rational numbers Q. The same object
g1,…,gn corresponds to an object of the category
F, which is a free group A, satisfying the
conditions Zn⊂A⊂Qn and A/Zn≅G∗, where G∗=Hom(G,Q/Z) is the dual finite group.
We consider also the group homomorphisms corresponding to
morphisms of the category S.
