Definition

Symbol-free definition

An automorphism of an abelian group is termed abelian-extensible if it can be extended to an automorphism for any embedding of the group in an abelian group.

Definition with symbols

An automorphism σ of an Abelian group G is termed abelian-extensible if, for any embedding of G as a subgroup of an abelian group H, there exists an automorphism σ' of H whose restriction to G equals σ.

This is equivalent to the following: if D is the unique largest divisible abelian subgroup of G, then σ induces a power automorphism on the quotient group G / D.
