Abstract

Let GG be a finite group. We will say that MM and SS form a \textsl{complete splitting} (\textsl{splitting}) of GG if every element (nonzero element) gg of GG has a unique representation of the form g=msg=ms with mMm\in M and sSs\in S, and 00 has a such representation (while 00 has no such representation). In this paper, we determine the structures of complete splittings of finite abelian groups. In particular, for complete splittings of cyclic groups our description is more specific. Furthermore, we show some results for existence and nonexistence of complete splittings of cyclic groups and find a relationship between complete splittings and splittings for finite groups.
