Splitting groups with basis property. (Q463272)

Summary: A finite group \(G\) is called splitting or splittable if it is a union of some collections of its proper subgroups intersecting pairwise at the identity. A special kind of splitting is known to be normal splitting. Also, a group \(G\) is said to have the basis property if, for each subgroup \(H \leq G\), \(H\) has a basis (minimal generating set), and any two bases have the same cardinality. In this work, I discuss a relation between classes of finite groups that possess both normal splitting and the basis property. This paper shows mainly that any non-\(p\)-group with basis property is normal splitting. However, the converse is not true in general. A counterexample is given. It is well known that any \(p\)-group has basis property. I demonstrate some types of \(p\)-groups which are splitting as well.
