This article describes a computation relating the result of the Composition operator (?) on two known subgroup properties (i.e., Characteristic central factor (?) and WNSCDIN-subgroup (?)), to another known subgroup property (i.e., WNSCDIN-subgroup (?))

Statement

Suppose HKG are groups. Suppose H is a characteristic central factor of K: in other words, H is both a Characteristic subgroup (?) and a Central factor (?) of K. Suppose K is a WNSCDIN-subgroup of G. Then, H is also a WNSCDIN-subgroup of G.

Facts used

  1. Characteristic of normal implies normal

Proof

Given: A group G, a WNSCDIN-subgroup K of G. A characteristic central factor H of K.

To prove: H is a WNSCDIN-subgroup of G. In other words, if A and B are normal subsets of H that are conjugate in G, then A and B are conjugate in NG(H).

Proof:

  1. A,B are normal subsets of K: Any inner automorphism of K restricts to an inner automorphism of H. In particular, since A is invariant under all inner automorphisms of H, it is invariant under all inner automorphisms of H. Thus, A (and similarly B), are normal subsets of K.
  2. A,B are conjugate in NG(K): This follows from the previous step, and the fact that K is WNSCDIN in G.
  3. NG(K)NG(H): H is characteristic in K and K is normal in NG(K). Thus, by fact (1), H is normal in NG(K). Thus, NG(K)NG(H).
  4. A,B are conjugate in NG(H): This follows from the previous two steps.
