Abstract

[The concept of direct sum is of utmost importance for the theory. This is mostly due to two facts: first, if we succeed in decomposing a group into a direct sum, then it can be studied by investigating the summands separately, which are, in numerous cases, simpler to deal with. We shall see that almost all structure theorems in abelian group theory involve, explicitly or implicitly, some direct decomposition. Secondly, new groups can be constructed as direct sums of known or previously constructed groups.]
