Abstract

If is the union of a smooth strictly ascending chain of B2-subgroups Gα, then, in the case when κ < ℵω, a criterion is established under which Gbecomes a B2-group. This criterion is dependent on a new class of torsion-free groups and generalizes earlier criteria for freeness established by Paul Hill. The result of S. Shelah and others establishing that, for a weakly compact cardinal κκ-free” implies “free”, is extended to the case of B2-groups.
