Abstract

Let GG be a group. The subsets A1,,AkA_1,\ldots,A_k of GG form a complete factorization of group GG if if they are pairwise disjoint and each element gGg\in G is uniquely represented as g=a1akg=a_1\ldots a_k, with aiAia_i\in A_i. We prove the following theorem: Let GG be a finite nilpotent group. If G=m1mk|G|=m_1\ldots m_k where m1,,mkm_1,\ldots,m_k are integers greater 11 and k3k\geq3, then there exist subsets A1,,AkA_1,\ldots,A_k of GG which form a complete factorization of group GG and Ai=mi|A_i|=m_i for all i=1,2,,ki=1,2,\ldots,k. In addition, we give several examples of building complete factorization for some groups and formulate one open question.

9 pages. Added some examples of complete factorizations of nilpotent groups, typos corrected. I would welcome any comments
