Summary:
In this paper, we initiate the study of various classes of isotype subgroups of global mixed groups. Our goal is to advance the theory of $\Sigma$-isotype subgroups to a level comparable to its status in the simpler contexts of torsion-free and $p$-local mixed groups. Given the history of those theories, one anticipates that definitive results are to be found only when attention is restricted to global $k$-groups, the prototype being global groups with decomposition bases. A large portion of this paper is devoted to showing that primitive elements proliferate in $\Sigma$-isotype subgroups of such groups. This allows us to establish the fundamental fact that finite rank $\Sigma$-isotype subgroups of $k$-groups are themselves $k$-groups.
