Abstract: Hajós' theorem asserts that if a finite abelian group is a direct product of cyclic subsets, then in fact at least one of the factors must be a subgroup of the group. A cyclic subset is the ``front end'' of a cyclic subgroup. We replace the cyclicity of the factors by an abstract $P$ property in Hajós' theorem for finite abelian groups whose $2$-component is cyclic.

Keywords: factorization of finite abelian groups, Hajós-Rédei theory
