Let $mathbbP$ be the set of all prime numbers. Consider the $mathbbZ$-Module $mathbbZ^(mathbbP)$, that is, the external direct sum of copies of the additive abelian group $mathbbZ$ indexed in the set of prime numbers.



Does anybody know any books or articles where I can read about this object? In particular, I'm looking for any characterization of it's submodules.



Thanks in advance for any help provided.

As in Servaes' comment, presumably this question was inspired by trying to understand the multiplicative group $mathbbQ^times$ of the rationals. Note that abstractly you don't need to know anything about $mathbbP$ other than that it's countably infinite, so it's equivalent to just study the direct sum $bigoplus_i in mathbbN mathbbZ$ of countably many copies of $mathbbZ$.



This is a free module, and submodules of free modules over a PID are free. So every submodule is the span of some linearly independent set of elements. I'm not sure what else there is to say other than this.

    First of all, thank you for your answer. That being said, I would argue that there is something in the nature of this direct sum that makes it different from $bigoplus_ninmathbbNmathbbZ$ since in this article (sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0021869316000612) they use it for an example, and the authors specifically use the sum I asked about. Naturally I thoguht about using $mathbbN$ as the indexing set, but unfortunately I was unable to prove that either were an example of the objects that are being treated in the article.

    There is no difference; any bijection between $mathbbN$ and the prime numbers exhibits an isomorphism between them. Can you quote the relevant section of that article? I don't have access to it.

    They state that $mathbbZ^(mathbbP)bigoplusmathbbZ$ is an example of an isoartinian module. We say that an $R$-Module $M$ is isoartinian iff for every nonempty set $Gamma$ of submodules of $M$, there exists $NinGamma$ such that, for every $N'leq N$, if $N'inGamma$, then $N'cong N$.
