This article defines a subgroup property: a property that can be evaluated to true/false given a group and a subgroup thereof, invariant under subgroup equivalence. View a complete list of subgroup properties[SHOW MORE]

Definition

A subgroup of a group is termed a monadic second-order characteristic subgroup if there is no other subgroup of such that the monadic second-order theories of the group-subgroup pairs and coincide. In other words, can be distinguished from any other subgroup of using monadic second-order logic in the pure theory of the group .
