Statement

Suppose $G$ is a group and $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$. Suppose $k$ is a positive integer. Denote by $\gamma _{k}(G)$ the $k^{th}$ member of the lower central series of $G$, and denote by $\gamma _{k}(H)$ the $k^{th}$ member of the lower central series of $H$. Then, $\gamma _{k}(H)$ is a normal subgroup of $\gamma _{k}(G)$.

Facts used

1. Lower central series member functions are monotone, i.e., if $H\leq G$, then $\gamma _{k}(H)\leq \gamma _{k}(G)$.
2. Normality is preserved under any monotone subgroup-defining function

Proof

The proof follows directly by combining Facts (1) and (2).
