Free powered group for a set of primes
Definition
Suppose is a set of primes and is a generating set. The free -powered group on , denoted with identified as a subset of this group, is the unique (up to isomorphism and with embedding of ) group satisfying the following:
- This group is -powered.
- It has no proper subgroup that contains and is also -powered.
- Any set map from to a group extends to a unique group homomorphism from to .
Guarantee of existence
