Review text

\textit{R. D. Mauldin} and \textit{S. M. Ulam} [ibid. 8, 281-344 (1987; Zbl 0642.00001)] have proposed the problem: Are there nonisomorphic groups \(G\) and \(H\) such that \(G\) and \(H\) can be decomposed into two parts, \(G = G_ 1 \cup G_ 2\) and \(H = H_ 1 \cup H_ 2\), with \(G_ 1 \sim H_ 1\) and \(G_ 2 \sim H_ 2\)? The notation \(A \sim B\), where \(A \subset G\) and \(B \subset H\), means there is a one-to-one map \(f\) of \(A\) onto \(B\) such that if \(x, y\), and \(xy\) are all in \(A\), then \(f(xy) = f(x) f(y)\). The purpose of this note is to give an elementary set of examples of such groups \(G\) and \(H\).
