Opis:	A regular covering projection $\wp : \widetilde{X} \to X$ of connected graphs is $G$ -admissible if $G$ lifts along $\wp$ . Denote by $\tilde{G}$ the lifted group, and let CT $(\wp)$ be the group of covering transformations. The projection is called $G$ -split whenever the extension ▫{ $\mathrm{CT}}(\wp) \to \tilde{G} \to G$ ▫ splits. In this paper, split 2-covers are considered, with a particular emphasis given to cubic symmetric graphs. Supposing that $G$ is transitive on $X$ , a $G$ -split cover is said to be $G$ -split-transitive if all complements $\tilde{G} \cong G$ of CT $(\wp)$ within $\tilde{G}$ are transitive on $\widetilde{X}$ ; it is said to be $G$ -split-sectional whenever for each complement $\tilde{G}$ there exists a $\tilde{G}$ -invariant section of $\wp$ ; and it is called $G$ -split-mixed otherwise. It is shown, when $G$ is an arc-transitive group, split-sectional and split-mixed 2-covers lead to canonical double covers. Split-transitive covers, however, are considerably more difficult to analyze. For cubic symmetric graphs split 2-cover are necessarily canonical double covers (that is, no $G$ -split-transitive 2-covers exist) when $G$ is 1-regular or 4-regular. In all other cases, that is, if $G$ is $s$ -regular, $s=2,3$ or $5$ , a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a transitive complement $\tilde{G}$ is given, and moreover, an infinite family of split-transitive 2-covers based on the alternating groups of the form $A_{12k+10}$ is constructed. Finally, chains of consecutive 2-covers, along which an arc-transitive group $G$ has successive lifts, are also considered. It is proved that in such a chain, at most two projections can be split. Further, it is shown that, in the context of cubic symmetric graphs, if exactly two of them are split, then one is split-transitive and the other one is either split-sectional or split-mixed.
