comment Describing a multitape Turing Machine that enumerates the set of $i$ such that $w_i$ is accepted by $M_i$
BY "describe" we mean give the operations that the T.M. should perform (in terms of how the tape heads move) in order to perform this task. I do understand the simulation process.

comment Abelian group admitting a surjective homomorphism onto an infinite cyclic group
I just realised my stupid mistake! Just one more thing. How can I show that any element of $G$ is expressible as a product of two elements, the first of which is from $\ker(f)$ and the second from $im(g)$?

comment Abelian group admitting a surjective homomorphism onto an infinite cyclic group
I have tried to show that $\ker(g)$ is trivial, but I am failing to do so. My problem is that the $x$ you chose above might have finite order so you would have $nx=0$ with $n \neq 0$ thus the kernel will not be trivial. I cannot find a method to by-pass this problem.

comment Abelian group admitting a surjective homomorphism onto an infinite cyclic group
I am so very sorry for not understanding this immediately. Here is my point of confusion. I cannot see how $G = \ker(f) \times im(g) \implies G \cong \ker(f) \times \Bbb Z$, since $im(g) \subset G$ so you would get $G \cong \ker(f) \times im(g) \subset \ker(f) \times G$

comment Imposing the topology of open rays in $\Bbb R$
Dear Brian, I would like to ask your permission to integrate your suggestions and hints into a complete answer in my original post. May I do so?
