Subgroups which admit extensions of homomorphisms

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.
