Ecker, Jürgen
Affine completeness of generalised dihedral groups.
(English)
[J] Can. Math. Bull. 49, No. 3, 347-357 (2006). ISSN 0008-4395; ISSN 1496-4287/e

Let $G$ be a finite group. If $k$ is a positive integer and $N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$, then a function $\varphi$ from the Cartesian power $G^k$ to $G$ is said to be compatible with $N$ if $x=(x_1,\dots,x_k), y=(y_1,\dots,y_k)\in G^k$ and $x_iy_i^{-1}\in N$ for $1\le i\le k$ implies $\varphi(x)\varphi(y)^{-1}\in N$. A function $\varphi\colon G^k\to G$ that is compatible with all normal subgroups of $G$ is said to be compatible. A group $G$ is called $k$-affine complete if every compatible function $\varphi\colon G^k\to G$ is a polynomial function as defined by {\it W. Nöbauer} and the reviewer [Algebra of polynomials. North-Holland Mathematical Library. Vol. 5. (1973; Zbl 0283.12101)], and $G$ is called affine complete if $G$ is $k$-affine complete for every positive integer $k$.\par Let $A$ be a finite Abelian group. Then $\text{Dih}(A)$ is defined as the semidirect product of $A$ with the group of order 2 where the conjugation action of its non-identity element on $A$ is inversion. Theorem 1.1: $\text{Dih}(A)$ is 1-affine complete if and only $A$ is 1-affine complete. Theorem 1.2: If $P$ is the Sylow 2-subgroup of $A$ and $Q$ its complement, then the following conditions are equivalent: (i) $\text{Dih}(A)$ is affine complete, (ii) $\text{Dih}(A)$ is 2-affine complete, (iii) $P$ is elementary-Abelian and $Q$ is affine complete.
