Definition

Definition with symbols

A subgroup of a group is termed polynormal if given any , there exists a such that . Here denotes the smallest subgroup of containing , which is closed under conjugation by .

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.

If is polynormal in , is also polynormal in any intermediate subgroup .

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.
