    When is a discrete bounded subgroup of an LCA group necessarily a topological direct summand? (English)
    0 references
    The concepts of pure subgroup and topologically pure subgroup are introduced and utilised in answering the question posed in the name of the paper. In addition, it is shown how every nontrivial discrete bounded group can be embedded, as the torsion part, in some nonsplitting LCA group. Finally, the splitting LCA groups whose torsion part is discrete are characterized.
