Equally partitioned groups

I. Martin (Irving) Isaacs

Vol. 49 (1973), No. 1, 109–116
Abstract

It is proved that the only finite groups which can be partitioned by subgroups of equal orders are the p-groups of exponent p. The connection between equally partitioned groups and Sperner spaces is discussed. It is also proved that finite groups partitioned by pairwise permutable subgroups are abelian.
