In particular, any intermediate group Z n < A < Q n has rank n. Abelian groups of rank 0 are exactly the periodic abelian groups. The group Q of rational numbers has rank 1. Torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1 are realized as subgroups of Q and there is a satisfactory classification of them up to isomorphism. By contrast, there is no ...
Abelian groups of rank 0 are precisely the periodic groups, while torsion-free abelian groups of rank 1 are necessarily subgroups of and can be completely described. More generally, a torsion-free abelian group of finite rank r {\displaystyle r} is a subgroup of Q r {\displaystyle \mathbb {Q} _{r}} .
The rank of a symmetry group is closely related to the complexity of the object (a molecule, a crystal structure) being under the action of the group. If G is a crystallographic point group, then rank(G) is up to 3. [9] If G is a wallpaper group, then rank(G) = 2 to 4. The only wallpaper-group type of rank 4 is p2mm. [10]

is an abelian group NS(V), called the Néron–Severi group of V. This is a finitely-generated abelian group by the Néron–Severi theorem, which was proved by Severi over the complex numbers and by Néron over more general fields. In other words, the Picard group fits into an exact sequence
The automorphism groups of two infinite-rank free abelian groups have the same first-order theories as each other, if and only if their ranks are equivalent cardinals from the point of view of second-order logic. This result depends on the structure of involutions of free abelian groups, the automorphisms that are their own inverse. Given a ...
The main structure theorem about this group is the Mordell–Weil theorem which shows this group is in fact a finitely-generated abelian group. Moreover, there are many conjectures related to this group, such as the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture which relates the rank of A ( K ) {\displaystyle A(K)} to the zero of the associated L ...
Every elementary abelian p-group is a vector space over the prime field with p elements, and conversely every such vector space is an elementary abelian group. By the classification of finitely generated abelian groups, or by the fact that every vector space has a basis, every finite elementary abelian group must be of the form (Z/pZ) n for n a ...
