Remak decomposition

In mathematics, a Remak decomposition, introduced by Remak (1911), is a decomposition of an abelian group or similar object into a finite direct sum of indecomposable objects.

The Krull–Schmidt theorem gives conditions for a Remak decomposition to exist and for its factors to be unique.
