AbstractWe prove that for every uncountable cardinal κ such that κ<κ = κ, the quasi-order of embeddability on the κ-space of κ-sized graphs Borel reduces to the embeddability on the κ-space of κ-sized torsion-free abelian groups. Then we use the same techniques to prove that the former Borel reduces to the embeddability relation on the κ-space of κ-sized R-modules, for every $\mathbb{S}$-cotorsion-free ring R of cardinality less than the continuum. As a consequence we get that all the previous are complete $\Sigma _1^1$ quasi-orders.

Let A, B, denote two non-void finite complexes (= subsets) of the torsion free abelian group G,Let d(A),… denote the maximum number of linearly independent elements of A,… and let n = n(A, B) denote the number of elements of A + B whose representation in the form a + b is unique. In the preceding paper, Tarwater and Entringer [1] proved that n ≥ d(A).

In this paper, we shall discuss some recent contributions to the project [15, 14, 2, 18, 22, 23] of explaining why no satisfactory system of complete invariants has yet been found for the torsion-free abelian groups of finite rank n ≥ 2. Recall that, up to isomorphism, the torsion-free abelian groups of rank n are exactly the additive subgroups of the n-dimensional vector space ℚn which contain n linearly independent elements. Thus the collection of torsion-free abelian groups of rank at most n can be naturally identified with the set S (ℚn) of all nontrivial additive subgroups of ℚn. In 1937, Baer [4] solved the classification problem for the class S(ℚ)of rank 1 groups as follows.Let ℙ be the set of primes. If G is a torsion-free abelian group and 0 ≠ x ϵ G, then the p-height of x is defined to behx(p) = sup{n ϵ ℕ ∣ There exists y ϵ G such that pny = x} ϵ ℕ ∪{∞}; and the characteristic χ (x) of x is defined to be the function

We prove that if p ≠ q are distinct primes, then the classification problems for p-local and q-local torsion-free abelian groups of rank two are incomparable with respect to Borel reducibility.
