On endomorphism rings of non-separable Abelian \(p\)-groups. (English) Zbl 0687.20050

A homomorphism \(\Theta:G\to H\) between Abelian \(p\)-groups \(G, H\) is thin (a notion due to Corner 1976) if for each natural number \(e\) there exists an \(n\) such that \((p^ nG[p^ e])\Theta \subseteq p^{\omega}H\). The author constructs Abelian \(p\)-groups \(G\) of \(p\)-length \(\omega +1\) such that \(\text{End\,}G=A\oplus E_{\Theta}G\), where the ring \(A\) and the cardinality \(\lambda =\lambda^{\aleph_ 0}\geq | A|\) are prescribed. In this setting \(E_{\Theta}G\) denotes all thin endomorphisms of \(G\) and \(\oplus\) is a ring split extension.
The proof is based on a lifting technique using a similar result for Abelian separable \(p\)-groups. The author also discusses consequences under \(V=L\), however this proof seems not to work for length larger than or equal to \(\omega +\omega\) (as claimed without proof).
