Quadratic refinements of a bilinear form on finite abelian groups

$\DeclareMathOperator\Hom{Hom}$Let $A$ be a finite abelian group and $\text{Sym}(A)$ the (abelian) group of symmetric bilinear forms over $A$ valued in $\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$. A quadratic function on ...

Exact sequence of $n$th powers of abelian groups

Let $A,B,C$ be finitely generated abelian groups. Assume that there is an exact sequence $$0 \to C \to A^n \to B^n \to 0,$$where $A^n = A \oplus \dotsc \oplus A$ as usual. It is not assumed that $A^n \...

Finite / uniquely divisible abelian groups

Is there any counter example for the following statement? STATEMENT: Let $0 \to F \to A \to Q \to 0$ be a short exact sequence of abelian groups. Assume that $F$ is a finite group, and $Q$ is a ...
