self-small abelian group; slender group
Summary:
Let $A$ and $B$ be two abelian groups. The group $A$ is called $B$-small if the covariant functor ${\rm Hom}(A,-)$ commutes with all direct sums $B^{(\kappa)}$ and $A$ is self-small provided it is $A$-small. The paper characterizes self-small products applying developed closure properties of the classes of relatively small groups. As a consequence, self-small products of finitely generated abelian groups are described.
