Suppose that G is a p-primary abelian group. The subgroup G[p] = {x∈G:px=0} is called the socle of G and any subgroup S of G[p] is called a subsocle of G. If each subsocle of G supports a pure subgroup, then G is said to be pure-complete [1]. It is well known that, if G a direct sum of cyclic groups, then G is necessarily pure-complete. Further results about pure-complete groups are contained in [1] and [3].
