Definition
Definition with symbols
- (Left-action convention): A subgroup H of a group G is termed procharacteristic in G if, for any automorphism σ of G, there exists
such that gHg − 1 = σ(H).
- (Right-action convention): A subgroup H of a group G is termed procharacteristic in G if, for any automorphism σ of G, there exists
such that Hg = Hσ.

Facts
- Any procharacteristic subgroup of a normal subgroup is pronormal. Further information: Procharacteristic of normal implies pronormal
- A subgroup H of a group G is procharacteristic in G if and only if whenever G is normal in some group K, H is pronormal in K. Further information: Left residual of pronormal by normal is procharacteristic
