Removed the deprecated (abstract-algebra) tag - see the tag info: https://mathoverflow.net/tags/abstract-algebra/info (if there are some other suitable tags, choose them instead.)
Apr 7, 2014 at 12:31 comment added user76758 @KevinVentullo: Whoops, I had not noticed the last sentence of the question. Since that endomorphism ring is $\widehat{Z}$, as noted by Strickland, for the purpose of tensoring against a torsion module it could just as well be $\mathbf{Z}$ (as I had been thinking).

Apr 7, 2014 at 5:18 comment added Kevin Ventullo @user76758 I'm not sure I understand your first comment. The author says the tensor is taken over $End(\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z})$. For your second comment, you're right, I should remark that the image of $\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$ under any homomorphism lands inside a cofinitely generated sub.

Apr 7, 2014 at 4:39 comment added user76758 @KevinVentullo: The step where you say direct limits "commute with everything" also has a small gap insofar as moving a direct limit out of the second variable of a Hom is not a generally valid thing, so its validity in the present setting (which is true) does require an argument (e.g., via Pontryagin duality or other means).
Apr 7, 2014 at 4:35 comment added user76758 @KevinVentullo: The end of your argument has a slight "cheat": the tensor product begins as one over $\mathbf{Z}$, and one has to directly compute (by various elementary means) the endomorphism ring to see that it collapses away in the tensor product (so tensoring over the endomorphism ring is a red herring).

Apr 6, 2014 at 23:22 comment added Kevin Ventullo Outline of proof: Everything breaks into a direct sum of the $p$-torsion parts over all primes $p$, so it's enough to prove it after localizing at $p$. Now $V$ is a direct limit of its ``cofinitely generated'' subs, i.e. submodules which look like a sum of finitely many $\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$'s. Direct limits commute with everything, so it's basically enough to prove it for $V\cong \mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$. But here it's just the isomorphism $\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p \otimes_{End(\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p)} End(\mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p) \cong \mathbb{Q}_p/\mathbb{Z}_p$.
Apr 6, 2014 at 23:14 comment added Denis Nardin In case it is interesting I have a proof of the surjectivity that I'm unable to upgrade to a full proof. Every element $v$ such that $nv=0$ is the image of $(\frac{1}{n}+\mathbb{Z})\otimes \varphi$ where $\varphi$ is any extension to $\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}$ of the map $\mathbb{Z}/n\to V$ sending $1+n\mathbb{Z}$ to $v$. The extension exists since $V$ is divisible and hence injective.
Apr 6, 2014 at 22:21 comment added Dag Oskar Madsen I think you just added an important detail to the question.

Apr 6, 2014 at 22:03 comment added Fernando Muro Stated without proof? Have you tried to find the proof in other references?
Apr 6, 2014 at 22:00 comment added Fat It is stated in Robert wisbaur paper(static modules and equivlances) in page 8 that this map is an isomorphism
Apr 6, 2014 at 20:02 comment added Fernando Muro How do you know it is bijective?
