Abelian groups, (fully, characteristically, totally, completely) inert subgroups.Abstract
We define and study in-depth the so-called completely inert and uniformly completely inert subgroups of Abelian groups. We curiously show that a subgroup is completely inert exactly when it is characteristically inert. Moreover, we prove that a subgroup is uniformly completely inert precisely when it is uniformly characteristically inert. These two statements somewhat strengthen recent results due to Goldsmith-Salce established for totally inert subgroups in J. Commut. Algebra (2025). Some other closely relevant things are obtained as well.
