Abstract
Let be a proper subgroup of and be the set of primes for which is -divisible. We show that the model-theoretic Grothendieck ring of the ordered abelian group is a quotient of , where is the largest odd integer that divides for all . This implies that the Grothendieck ring of is trivial in various salient cases, for example when is finite, or when does not contain some prime of the form , .
