Definition

Symbol-free definition

A subgroup of a group is termed a 3-subnormal subgroup if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

1. It is a subnormal subgroup and its subnormal depth is at most three.
2. It is a 2-subnormal subgroup of a normal subgroup.
3. It is a 2-subnormal subgroup in its normal closure.
4. It is a normal subgroup of a 2-subnormal subgroup.
