Conceptual proof of fundamental theorem of finite abelian groups
I'm looking for a conceptual proof of the following statement:
Lemma: Let $G$ be a finite abelian $p$-group. Let $a$ be an element of maximal order. Then $G=\langle a \rangle \times H$ for some ...

A kind of cancellation ; exchange problem for groups
For which $(m,n,k,l) \in (\mathbb N\cup \{0\})^4$ , with $m\le n ; k\le l$ , does there exist a group $G$ with a finite subnormal series with torsion-free Abelian quotients such that $G \times \mathbb ...
