Statement

Suppose G is a group and H is a normal subgroup of G. Suppose k is a positive integer. Denote by γk(G) the kth member of the lower central series of G, and denote by γk(H) the kth member of the lower central series of H. Then, γk(H) is a normal subgroup of γk(G).

Facts used

  1. Lower central series member functions are monotone, i.e., if HG, then γk(H)γk(G).
  2. Normality is preserved under any monotone subgroup-defining function

Proof

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