Abstract
We classify those 2-groups G which factorise as a product of two disjoint cyclic subgroups A and B , transposed by an automorphism of order 2 . The case where G is metacyclic having been dealt with elsewhere, we show that for each e ≥ 3 there are exactly three such non-metacyclic groups G with ∣ A ∣ = ∣ B ∣ = 2 e , and for e = 2 there is one. These groups appear in a classification by Berkovich and Janko of 2 -groups with one non-metacyclic maximal subgroup; we enumerate these groups, give simpler presentations for them, and determine their automorphism groups.
