Disjoint Non-Free Subgoups of Abelian Groups
by Blass and Shelah. [BsSh:870]
Quaderni di Matematica, 2006
Let G be an abelian group and let lambda be the smallest
rank of any group whose direct sum with a free group is isomorphic
to G . If lambda is uncountable, then G has lambda
pairwise disjoint, non-free subgroups. There is an example where
lambda is countably infinite and G does not have even two
disjoint, non-free subgroups.
