Rings on Abelian Torsion-Free Groups of Finite Rank

Abstract

In the class of reduced Abelian torsion-free groups $G$ of finite rank, we describe TI-groups, this means that every associative ring on $G$ is filial. If every associative multiplication on $G$ is the zero multiplication, then $G$ is called a $ni{l}_a$-group. It is proved that a reduced Abelian torsion-free group $G$ of finite rank is a $TI$-group if and only if $G$ is a homogeneous Murley group or $G$ is a $ni{l}_a$-group. We also study the interrelations between the class of homogeneous Murley groups and the class of $ni{l}_a$-groups. For any type $t\ne (\infty ,\infty ,\dots )$ and every integer $n>1$, there exist $2^{{\aleph }_0}$ pairwise non-quasi-isomorphic homogeneous Murley groups of type $t$ and rank $n$ which are $ni{l}_a$-groups. We describe types $t$ such that there exists a homogeneous Murley group of type $t$ which is not a $ni{l}_a$-group.
