Abstract
A new criterion is established for an abelian group to be free. The criterion is in terms of an ascending chain of free subgroups and is dependent upon a new class of torsion-free groups. The result leads to the construction, for each positive integer n, of a group G n {G_n} of cardinality ℵ n {\aleph _n} that is not free but is ℵ n {\aleph _n} -free. A conjecture in infinitary logic concerning free abelian groups is also verified.
