Let G and H be partially ordered abelian groups. A positive homomorphism from G to H is any abelian group homomorphism ${\displaystyle f:G\rightarrow H}$ that maps positive elements to positive elements, that is, ${\displaystyle f(G^{+})\subseteq H^{+}}$.

Chapter 2 is a brief introduction to some fundamental techniques for countable torsion-free abelian groups.

By the end of Chapter 2 we had the full power of the Pontryagin Duality Theorem for compact abelian groups and for discrete abelian groups. Locally compact abelian groups are much closer to compact abelian groups than is apparent at first sight.
