- Rédei's theorem
In
Group Theory , Rédei's theorem states that "If a finiteabelian group is expressed as the product ofsubsets each of which has aprime number of elements and contains theidentity element , then at least one of the factors is a subgroup." This theorem was proved by L. Rédei in 1965.Formal statement
In any normed factorization of a finite abelian group by subsets of prime cardinality, at least one of the factors is a subgroup.
