Abstract

Given an aleph1-free abelian group G we characterize the class CG of all torsion abelian groups T satisfying Ext(G,T)=0 assuming the continuum hypothesis CH. Moreover, in Godel's constructable universe we prove that this characterizes CG for arbitrary torsion-free abelian G. It follows that there exist some ugly aleph1-free abelian groups.
