Extract

Let P be a fixed set of primes, the category of all groups and group-homomorphisms, and the full subcategory of nilpotent groups. In [9], an idempotent functor called P-localization, was defined so as to extend the ℤ-module-theoretic localization of abelian groups. There are two well-known extensions of e to , namely, Bousfield's P-localization [2], [4], denoted by EZP, and Ribenboim's P-localization [13], usually denoted by ( )P. Ribenboim's P-localization is the maximal extension among localizations extending e to in that it maximizes the number of groups in its image [7]. The localized groups obtained after applying Ribenboim's P-localization are precisely the P-local groups, that is, the groups having unique nth-root for every n whichis co-prime to P, [13]. Being maximal is equivalent to this class of P-localized groups being the saturated class of groups generated by e–equivalences, that is, group homomorphisms between nilpotent groups which become isomorphisms after applying e.
