Definition

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed an isomorph-containing subgroup if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

1. Whenever $K\le G$ is a subgroup of $G$ isomorphic to $H$, $K\le H$.
2. If $G$ is a subgroup of $L$, <mah>H</math> is weakly closed in $G$ with respect to $L$.

Relation with other properties

Stronger properties

• Isomorph-free subgroup: For a finite subgroup, and more generally, for a co-Hopfian subgroup, the two properties are equivalent.
• Homomorph-containing subgroup: Also related:
  • Subhomomorph-containing subgroup
  • Subisomorph-containing subgroup
  • Variety-containing subgroup
• Fully invariant direct factor: For full proof, refer: Equivalence of definitions of fully invariant direct factor

Weaker properties

• Characteristic subgroup: For proof of the implication, refer Isomorph-containing implies characteristic and for proof of its strictness (i.e. the reverse implication being false) refer Characteristic not implies isomorph-containing. Also related:
  • Intermediately injective endomorphism-invariant subgroup
  • Injective endomorphism-invariant subgroup
  • Intermediately characteristic subgroup
  • Normal subgroup

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

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).

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.
