This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of an implication relation between two subgroup properties, when the big group is a odd-order Abelian group. That is, it states that in a Odd-order Abelian group (?), every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., Characteristic subgroup (?)) must also satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., Fully characteristic subgroup (?)). In other words, every characteristic subgroup of odd-order Abelian group is a fully characteristic subgroup of odd-order Abelian group.

Statement

In an odd-order Abelian group, a subgroup is characteristic if and only if it is fully characteristic.

Proof

Given: An odd-order Abelian group G.

To prove: A subgroup H of G is characteristic in G if and only if H is fully characteristic in G.

Proof: We give the proof in two steps.

A characteristic subgroup is the direct sum of its intersections with direct summands

A characteristic subgroup is fully characteristic
