Definition

Symbol-free definition

A subgroup of a group is termed injective endomorphism-invariant or I-characteristic if every injective endomorphism of the whole group takes the subgroup to within itself.

Definition with symbols

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed injective endomorphism-invariant or I-characteristic if for any injective endomorphism $σ$ of $G$ , the image of $H$ under $σ$ is contained inside $H$ .

Formalisms

Function restriction expression

This subgroup property is a function restriction-expressible subgroup property: it can be expressed by means of the function restriction formalism, viz there is a function restriction expression for it.

Metaproperties

Transitivity

This subgroup property is transitive: a subgroup with this property in a subgroup with this property, also has this property in the whole group.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property that are transitive | View variations of this property that are not transitive
ABOUT TRANSITIVITY: View a complete list of transitive subgroup properties|View a complete list of facts related to transitivity of subgroup properties |Read a survey article on proving transitivity

The property of being injective endomorphism-invariant is transitive on account of its being a balanced subgroup property (function restriction formalism).

For full proof, refer: Injective endomorphism-invariance is transitive

Further information: Balanced implies transitive, full invariance is transitive, characteristicity is transitive

Trimness

This subgroup property is trim -- it is both trivially true (true for the trivial subgroup) and identity-true (true for a group as a subgroup of itself).
View other trim subgroup properties | View other trivially true subgroup properties | View other identity-true subgroup properties

The trivial subgroup is injective endomorphism-invariant because every endomorphism (injective or not) must take it to itself.

The whole group is also clearly injective endomorphism-invariant.

Intersection-closedness

YES: This subgroup property is intersection-closed: an arbitrary (nonempty) intersection of subgroups with this property, also has this property.

ABOUT INTERSECTION-CLOSEDNESS: View all intersection-closed subgroup properties (or, strongly intersection-closed properties) | View all subgroup properties that are not intersection-closed | Read a survey article on proving intersection-closedness | Read a survey article on disproving intersection-closedness

An arbitrary intersection of injective endomorphism-invariant subgroups is injective endomorphism-invariant. This follows on account of injective endomorphism-invariance being an invariance property.

For full proof, refer: Injective endomorphism-invariance is strongly intersection-closed

Further information: Invariance implies strongly intersection-closed, normality is strongly intersection-closed, characteristicity is strongly join-closed, full invariance is strongly join-closed

Join-closedness

YES: This subgroup property is join-closed: an arbitrary (nonempty) join of subgroups with this property, also has this property.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property that are join-closed | View variations of this property that are not join-closed
ABOUT JOIN-CLOSEDNESS: View all join-closed subgroup properties (or, strongly join-closed properties) | View all subgroup properties that are not join-closed | Read a survey article on proving join-closedness | Read a survey article on disproving join-closedness

An arbitrary join of injective endomorphism-invariant subgroups is injective endomorphism-invariant. This follows on account of injective endomorphism-invariance being an endo-invariance property.
