Abstract

Ulm's Theorem presents invariants that classify countable abelian torsion groups up to isomorphism. Barwise and Eklof extended this result to the classification of arbitrary abelian torsion groups up to LωL_{\infty \omega}-equivalence. In this paper, we extend this classification to a class of mixed Zp\mathbb{Z}_p-modules which includes all Warfield modules and is closed under LωL_{\infty\omega}-equivalence. The defining property of these modules is the existence of what we call a partial decomposition basis, a generalization of the concept of decomposition basis. We prove a complete classification theorem in LωL_{\infty\omega} using invariants deduced from the classical Ulm and Warfield invariants.
