Definition

A subgroup of a group is termed an intersection of subnormal subgroups if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

• It can be expressed as the intersection of a descending chain of subnormal subgroups.
• It can be expressed as an intersection of subnormal subgroups.

Note that since subnormality of fixed depth is closed under arbitrary intersections, these two definitions are equivalent.
