Notes

  1. 1.

    Recall that an abelian group A always possesses one largest divisible subgroup D, which is a subgroup of \(D':=\bigcap _{n >0} n A\). But it may happen that D is strictly contained in \(D'\).

  2. 2.

    We have an analogous diagram for any class formation, see Proposition 16.30, and also Exercise 9.3 in the local case.
