Definition

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed homomorph-containing if for any $\varphi \in \operatorname {Hom} (H,G)$, the image $\varphi (H)$ is contained in $H$.

Metaproperties

BEWARE! This section of the article uses terminology local to the wiki, possibly without giving a full explanation of the terminology used (though efforts have been made to clarify terminology as much as possible within the particular context)

Here is a summary:

Metaproperty name	Satisfied?	Proof	Section in this article
trim subgroup property	yes		#Trimness
transitive subgroup property	no	homomorph-containment is not transitive	#Transitivity
intermediate subgroup condition	yes	homomorph-containment satisfies intermediate subgroup condition	#Intermediate subgroup condition
strongly join-closed subgroup property	yes	homomorph-containment is strongly join-closed	#Join-closedness
quotient-transitive subgroup property	yes	homomorph-containment is quotient-transitive	#Quotient-transitivity

Trimness

This subgroup property is trim -- it is both trivially true (true for the trivial subgroup) and identity-true (true for a group as a subgroup of itself).
View other trim subgroup properties | View other trivially true subgroup properties | View other identity-true subgroup properties

For any group $G$, the trivial subgroup and the whole group are both homomorph-containing.

Transitivity

NO: This subgroup property is not transitive: a subgroup with this property in a subgroup with this property, need not have the property in the whole group
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property that are transitive|View variations of this property that are not transitive
ABOUT TRANSITIVITY: View a complete list of subgroup properties that are not transitive|View facts related to transitivity of subgroup properties | View a survey article on disproving transitivity

We can have subgroups $H\leq K\leq G$ such that $H$ is a homomorph-containing subgroup of $K$ and $K$ is a homomorph-containing subgroup of $G$ but $H$ is not a homomorph-containing subgroup of $G$. For full proof, refer: Homomorph-containment is not transitive

Intermediate subgroup condition

YES: This subgroup property satisfies the intermediate subgroup condition: if a subgroup has the property in the whole group, it has the property in every intermediate subgroup.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property satisfying intermediate subgroup condition | View variations of this property not satisfying intermediate subgroup condition
ABOUT INTERMEDIATE SUBROUP CONDITION:View all properties satisfying intermediate subgroup condition | View facts about intermediate subgroup condition

If $H\leq K\leq G$ and $H$ is a homomorph-containing subgroup of $G$, $H$ is also a homomorph-containing subgroup of $K$. For full proof, refer: Homomorph-containment satisfies intermediate subgroup condition

Join-closedness

YES: This subgroup property is join-closed: an arbitrary (nonempty) join of subgroups with this property, also has this property.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property that are join-closed | View variations of this property that are not join-closed
ABOUT JOIN-CLOSEDNESS: View all join-closed subgroup properties (or, strongly join-closed properties) | View all subgroup properties that are not join-closed | Read a survey article on proving join-closedness | Read a survey article on disproving join-closedness

If $H_{i},i\in I$, are all homomorph-containing subgroups of $G$, then so is the join of subgroups $\langle H_{i}\rangle _{i\in I}$. For full proof, refer: Homomorph-containment is strongly join-closed

Quotient-transitivity

This subgroup property is quotient-transitive: the corresponding quotient property is transitive.
View a complete list of quotient-transitive subgroup properties

If $H\leq K\leq G$ are groups such that $H$ is a homomorph-containing subgroup of $G$ and $K/H$ is a homomorph-containing subgroup of $G/H$, then $K$ is a homomorph-containing subgroup of $G$. For full proof, refer: Homomorph-containment is quotient-transitive
