Suppose that G is a group with a subgroup H and a subset B such that B=BH, neither B nor its complement is contained in a finite union HF of cosets of H, and for all g\in G, the symmetric difference of B and Bg is contained in a finite union of right cosets of H. Then G splits over a subgroup K that is contained in a finite union of cosets of H, either as a free product with amalgamation, or as an HNN extension.
