Relationships between Almost Completely Decomposable Abelian Groups with Their Multiplication Groups

Abstract

For an Abelian group $G$, any homomorphism $\mu\colon G\otimes G\rightarrow G$ is called a \textsf{multiplication} on $G$. The set $\text{Mult}\,G$ of all multiplications on an Abelian group $G$ is an Abelian group with respect to addition. An Abelian group $G$ with multiplication, defined on it, is called a \textsf{ring on the group} $G$. Let $\mathcal{A}_0$ be the class of Abelian block-rigid almost completely decomposable groups of ring type with cyclic regulator quotient. In the paper, we study relationships between the above groups and their multiplication groups. It is proved that groups from $\mathcal{A}_0$ are definable by their multiplication groups. For a rigid group $G\in\mathcal{A}_0$, the isomorphism problem is solved: we describe multiplications from $\text{Mult}\,G$ that define isomorphic rings on $G$. We describe Abelian groups that are realized as the multiplication group of some group in $\mathcal{A}_0$. We also describe groups in $\mathcal{A}_0$ that are isomorphic to their multiplication groups.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2205.1065
