It is a known result that if a finite abelian group of odd order is a direct product of lacunary cyclic subsets, then at least one of the factors must be a subgroup. The paper gives an elementary proof that does not rely on characters.
Keywords: factorization of finite abelian groups, periodic subsets, cyclic subsets, lacunary cyclic subsets, Hajós-Rédei theory
