ABSTRACT
The paper considers the lattice of fully invariant subgroups of the cotorsion hull T
when a separable primary group
is an arbitrary direct sum of torsion-complete groups.The investigation of this problem in the case of a cotorsion hull
is important because endomorphisms in this class of groups are completely defined by their action on the torsion part
and for mixed groups the ring of endomorphisms is isomorphic to the ring of endomorphisms of the torsion part if and
only if the group is a fully invariant subgroup of the cotorsion hull of its torsion part. In the considered case, the
cotorsion hull is not fully transitive and hence it is necessary to introduce a new function which differs from an
indicator and assigns an infinite matrix to each element of the cotorsion hull. The relation difined on the set
T
of
these matrices is different from the relation proposed by the autor in the countable case and better discribes the lower
semilattice . The use of the relation essentially simplifies the verification of the required properties. It is proved
that the lattice of fully invariant subgroups of the group T
is isomorphic to the lattice of filters of the lower
semilattice .

1. Introduction
We consider questions of the theory of abelian groups
and throughout the paper the word “group” means an
additively written abelian group. The notation and
terminology used in the text are borrowed from the two-
volume monograph [1,2].
The symbol denotes a fixed prime number.

The study of the lattice of fully invariant subgroups of
a group is an important problem of the theory of abelian
groups. For sufficiently wide classes of -groups this
topic is treated in [3-7] and in other papers. The works
[8-13] and others are dedicated to the investigation of
this question in torsion-free and mixed groups.
p
A group
A
is called a cotorsion group if its ex-
tension by means of any torsion-free group splits,
i.e.,
C
,CAExt 0
. The importance of the class of
cotorsion groups in the theory of abelian groups is due to
two facts (see [1, items 54, 55]): for any groups
A

the group
B
Ext ,
A
B is a cotorsion group; any reduced
group
A
is isomorphically embeddable into the group
Ext ,
QZA
called the cotorsion hull of a group
A
and, in addition,
A
A
is a divisible torsion-free
group. Any reduced cotorsion group

can be
represented as the direct sum

The construction of algebraically compact groups is

Though the notion of a cotorsion group and its
generalizations are studied sufficiently well (see [15-18]),
little is known about the lattice of fully invariant
subgroups of a cotorsion group. The investigation of this
problem in the case of a cotorsion hull is important
because endomorphisms in this class of groups are
completely defined by their action on the torsion part and,
as shown in [19], for mixed groups the ring of endo-
morphisms is isomorphic to the ring of endomorphisms
of the torsion part if and only if the group is a fully
invariant subgroup of the cotorsion hull of its torsion part.
The study of the lattice of fully invariant subgroups
makes essential use of the notions of an indicator and a
fully transitive group.
By the -indicator of an element of the group

we mean an increasing sequence of ordinal numbers

A reduced -group is called fully transitive if for its
arbitrary elements and when

there exists an endomorphism
of the group such that

. In fully transitive groups, the lattice of fully
invariant subgroups is studied by means of indicators
(see [2, Theorem 67.1]).
A. Mader [11] showed that an algebraically compact
group is fully transitive and described by means of
indicators of the lattice of fully invariant subgroups of an
algebraically compact group. Moreover, he indicated the
generalized conditions the fulfillment of which gives a
description of the lattice of fully invariant submodules.
Theorem 1.1 (A. Mader). 1 Let
A
be a module over
a commutative ring , be the lattice of its fully
invariant submodules, be some lower semilattice,
and be the mapping with the following
properties:

Then the set of all filters of , which is ordered

In the same way as we did in -groups we define the
notion of full transitivity in the group

T. If is a torsion-complete group,
then its cotorsion hull is an algebraically compact group
(see [1, item 56] and, as has been mentioned above, is
fully transitive. A. Moskalenko [13] proved that when
is the direct sum of cyclic -groups, then T
T
p
is
also fully transitive and all the conditions of Theorem 1.1
are fulfilled. Therefore in this case, too, the lattice *
of indicator filters describes the lattice of fully invariant
subgroups. The direct sum of torsion-complete groups is
a natural generalization of the direct sum of cyclic
-groups and torsion-complete groups. The author has
shown in [20] that in this class of groups, if the sum is
infinite, the cotorsion hull is not fully transitive.
Therefore, because of condition 4) of Theorem 1.1 we
cannot use indicators to describe the lattice of fully
invariant subgroups. The lattice of fully invariant
subgroups of
p

countable direct sum of torsion-complete groups. In the
present paper, is an arbitrary direct sum of torsion-
complete groups and the lower semilattice is defined by a
simpler new relation

makes it easier to verify the properties of Theorem 1.1.

previous reasoning. If in the sequences there are
infinitely many jumps and at each stage the first jump
