Abstract
Let be a nonabelian group and a natural number. We say that has a strict -split decomposition if it can be partitioned as the disjoint union of an abelian subgroup and nonempty subsets , such that for each and within each set , no two distinct elements commute. We show that every finite nonabelian group has a strict -split decomposition for some . We classify all finite groups , up to isomorphism, which have a strict -split decomposition for . Finally, we show that for a nonabelian group having a strict -split decomposition, the index is bounded by some function of .
