Definition

No.	Shorthand	A subgroup of a group is termed a subgroup having a 1-closed transversal if ...	A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed a subgroup having a 1-closed transversal if ...
1	left transversal that is 1-closed	it has a left transversal that is a 1-closed subset, i.e., is a union of subgroups of $G$	there exists a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that $S$ intersects every left coset of $H$ in exactly one element, and $S$ is a union of subgroups of $G$
2	right transversal that is 1-closed	it has a left transversal that is a 1-closed subset, i.e., is a union of subgroups of $G$	there exists a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that $S$ intersects every right coset of $H$ in exactly one element, and $S$ is a union of subgroups of $G$
3	left transversal + right transversal + 1-closed	it has a left transversal that is also a right transversal and is also 1-closed	there exists a subset $S \subseteq G$ such that $S$ intersects every left coset of $H$ in exactly one element, $S$ intersects every right coset of $H$ in exactly one element, and $S$ is a union of subgroups of $G$

Examples

• Any permutably complemented subgroup has a 1-closed transversal, because we can take the transversal as the complementary subgroup.
• In a group of prime exponent, any subgroup has a 1-closed transversal.
