%0 Journal Article %T Subgroups which admit extensions of homomorphisms %A Simion Breaz %A Grigore C£¿lug£¿reanu %A Phill Schultz %J Mathematics %D 2013 %I arXiv %X We classify by numerical invariants the finite subgroups $H$ of a primary abelian group $G$ for which every homomorphism or monomorphism of $H$ into $G$, or every endomorphism of $H$, extends to an endomorphism of $G$. We apply these results to show that for finitely generated subgroups of general abelian groups, the extendibility of monomorphisms implies the extendibility of all homomorphisms. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.3373v2
