One of the applications is as follows: If \\(A\\) is any group of non-measurable cardinality, then there is a torsionless group \\(D\\), such that \\(D^{**}/D \\cong A\\); the consequence is that any dual group is of the form \\(D^{***}/D^*\\), for some group \\(D\\). The crucial result used to prove this is that, for any group \\(A\\), there is an exact sequence \\(0 \\to L \\to F \\to A \\to 0\\), where \\(F\\) is the union of a smooth \\(\\omega_ 1\\)-chain of free groups and the dual \\(L^* = 0\\).   Note that the groups with zero dual were named ``coslender'' by the reviewer [cf. Glasn. Mat., III. Ser. 2(41), 327-329 (1986; Zbl 0618.20038)]."},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2025-12-31T21:56:57Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
