A module is called absolutely indecomposable if it is directly indecomposable in every generic extension of the universe. We want to show the existence of large abelian groups that are absolutely indecomposable. This will follow from a more general result about R-modules over a large class of commutative rings R with endomorphism ring R which remains the same when passing to a generic extension...

possibilities for new experiments. I have been extremely lucky to have worked closely with so many talented people who have an immense enthusiasm and curiosity for understanding how biological systems work. What is true for an individual is also true for an institution as a whole. In my early days at LMB the open seminars discussing, for example, Francis Crick's wobble hypothesis and Fred Sange...
