In mathematics, in the field of group theory, the Baer-Specker group, or Specker group is an example of an infinite Abelian group which is a building block in the structure theory of such groups.
Definition
The Baer-Specker group is the group B = ZN of all integer sequences with componentwise addition, that is, the direct product of countably many copies of Z.
Properties
Reinhold Baer proved in 1937 that this group is not free abelian; Specker proved in 1950 that every countable subgroup of B is free abelian.
