Definition

Definition with symbols

A subgroup H of a group G is termed polynormal if given any gG, there exists a xHg such that H<x>=H<g>. Here Hg denotes the smallest subgroup of G containing H, which is closed under conjugation by g.

Metaproperties

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 INTERMEDIATE SUBROUP CONDITION:View all properties satisfying intermediate subgroup condition | View facts about intermediate subgroup condition

If H is polynormal in G, H is also polynormal in any intermediate subgroup K.

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).

The whole group and the trivial subgroup are polynormal; in fact they are normal.
