Supper Bassian and Nearly Generalized Bassian Abelian Groups

Abstract

In connection to two recent publications of ours in Arch. Math. Basel (2021) and Acta Math. Hung. (2022), respectively, and in regard to the results obtained in Arch. Math. Basel (2012), we have the motivation to study the near property of both Bassian and generalized Bassian groups. Concretely, we prove that if an arbitrary reduced group has the property that all of its proper subgroups are generalized Bassian, then it is also generalized Bassian itself, that is, if G is an arbitrary nearly generalized Bassian group, then either G is a quasi-cyclic group or G is generalized Bassian of finite torsion-free rank. Moreover, we show that there is a complete description of the so-called super Bassian groups, that are those groups whose epimorphic images are all Basian, and give their full characterization. Also, we establish that the hereditary property of Bassian groups gives nothing new as it coincides with the ordinary Bassian property.
