This book provides the first systematic treatment of modules over discrete valuation domains, which play an important role in various areas of algebra, especially in commutative algebra. Many important results representing the state of the art are presented in the text along with interesting open problems. This updated edition presents new approaches on p-adic integers and modules, and on the determinability of a module by its automorphism group.
Contents

Basic facts
Endomorphism rings of divisible and complete modules
Representation of rings by endomorphism rings
