let $pounds$ be the category of all locally compact abelian (lca) groups‎. ‎in this paper‎, ‎the groups $g$ in $pounds$ are determined such that every extension $0to xto yto gto 0$ with divisible‎, ‎$sigma-$compact $x$ in $pounds$ splits‎. ‎we also determine the discrete or compactly generated lca groups $h$ such that every pure extension $0to hto yto xto 0$ splits for each divisible group $x$ ...

The purpose of this paper is to define a new equivalence relation τ∗ on divisible hypergroups and to show that this relation is the smallest strongly regular relation (the fundamental relation) on commutative divisible hypergroups. We show that τ∗ ̸= β∗, τ∗ ̸= γ∗ and, we define a divisible hypergroup on every nonempty set. We show that the quotient of a finite divisible hypergroup by τ∗ is the tr...

ABSTRAC"T A construction method for semiregular group divisible designs is given. This method can be applied to yield many classes of (in general, non-symmetric) semiregular group divisible designs whose duals are semiregular group divisible. In particular, the method can be used to construct many classes of transversal designs whose duals are serniregular group divisible designs, but not trans...
