%0 Journal Article %T An Alternative Proof of Hill's Criterion of Freeness for Abelian Groups %A MAC¨ªAS-D¨ªAZ %A JORGE EDUARDO %J Revista Colombiana de Matem¨¢ticas %D 2010 %I Universidad Nacional de Colombia and Sociedad Colombiana de Matem¨¢ticas %X in this note we provide a different proof of hill's criteria of freeness for abelian groups. our proof hinges on the construction of suitable g(£¿0)-families of subgroups of the links in hill's theorem and, ultimately, on the construction of such a family of pure subgroups of the group itself. %K abelian group %K freeness %K hill's criterion %K g(\aleph0)-family %K purity. %U http://www.scielo.org.co/scielo.php?script=sci_abstract&pid=S0034-74262010000100005&lng=en&nrm=iso&tlng=en
