Statement

Statement with symbols

Suppose H≤G is a subgroup, and Ki,i∈I, is an indexed family of subgroups with H≤Ki for each i∈I. Then, if H is contranormal in each Ki, H is also contranormal in the [join of subgroups|join]] of the Kis.

Definitions used

Contranormal subgroup

Further information: contranormal subgroup

H≤K is a contranormal subgroup if for any L≤K containing H such that L is normal in K, L=K.

  1. Normality satisfies transfer condition: If L◃G is a normal subgroup, and K≤G, then L∩K is normal in K.

Proof

Given: H≤G, family of subgroups Ki,i∈I with H≤Ki, and H contranormal in each Ki.

To prove: H is normal in the join of all the Kis.

Proof: Suppose L is a normal subgroup of the join of the Kis, containing H. Then, for each Ki, L∩Ki is a subgroup of Ki containing H, and by fact (1), it is normal in Ki. Since H is contranormal in Ki, L∩Ki=Ki for each i∈I, so Ki≤L for each i∈I. Thus, L must equal the join of the Kis.
