Divisible group for a set of primes
Definition
Let be a set of primes. A group is termed -divisible if it satisfies the following equivalent definitions:
| No. | Shorthand | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | -divisible, for each prime | For every and every , there exists such that . In other words, the map is surjective from to itself for all . |
| 2 | -divisible for every -number | if and is a natural number all of whose prime divisors are in the set , then there exists an element such that . |
| 3 | (not necessarily unique) rational powers with denominators -number | if and are integers with all prime divisors of in , there exists satisfying . |
