Can someone please clarify that A in the definition of p-torsion is an additive group? While it is clear to see for people already familiar with torsion, I believe there is some ambiguity for the beginner.

I changed it to (A, +), just to be perfectly clear. The entire article, where needed, uses additive notation.

came later, and the torsion coefficients correspond to the torsion subgroups of the homology groups. --

Why is this called “torsion”? My only guess is that it has something to do with what happens to

redirects here, but I think its supposed to have its own article. See e.g.
381: 362: 334: 319: 298: 280: 15: 353:. The general case of non-rank-1 is not discussed here. 276:, the only element with finite order. Is that even close? 286:
I would guess (but it's only a guess) that it comes from
