Factoring by subsets of cardinality of prime power (Q1314886)

A subset in a group is periodic if it is a direct product of some subset and a nontrivial subgroup. It is proved under certain restrictions that if a general finite abelian group is factored as a direct product of cyclic subsets of prime cardinalities and general subsets of cardinalities that are powers of primes then at least one of the factors is periodic.
