This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of an implication relation between two subgroup properties. That is, it states that every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., left-transitively permutable subgroup) must also satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., characteristic subgroup)

Statement

Suppose H is a subgroup of a group K such that whenever K is a Permutable subgroup (?) of a group G, H is also a permutable subgroup of G. Then, H is a characteristic subgroup of K.

Facts used

  1. Every group is normal fully normalized in its holomorph

Proof

Given: A subgroup H of a group K such that whenever K is a permutable subgroup of a group G, then H is permutable in G.

To prove: H is characteristic in K: for any automorphism σ of K, and any gH, σ(g)H.

Proof: Let G be the holomorph of K; in other words, we have:

G=KAut(K).

Now, consider σ as an element of G (via its membership in Aut(K), and g also as an element of G. Let A,B be the cyclic subgroups of G generated by σ and g respectively. We have:

AB=BA
