The problem in which we are interested is the following. Call an additively written group G finitely decomposable if G = Σ Gi is the weak sum of finite groups Gi, Consider the following property. Property P. Each subgroup of G having cardinality less than G is contained in a finitely decomposable direct summand of G.Does Property P imply that G is finitely decomposable? We shall demonstrate that the answer is negative even in the commutative case. Our question is closely related to (1, Problem 5). In (4), an abelian group is called a Fuchs 5-group if every infinite subgroup of the group can be embedded in a direct summand of the same cardinality. The question of whether or not a Fuchs 5-group is in fact a direct sum of countable groups has been open for several years.
