On split metacyclic groups

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

We consider sufficient conditions for metacyclic groups to split. Specifically, we show that a finite metacyclic group G of odd order is split on its cyclic normal subgroup K if K is such that G/K is cyclic and |K| = exp G.
