Definition

Symbol-free definition

A subgroup of a group is termed transitively normal or right-transitively normal if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  1. Every normal subgroup of it is a normal subgroup of the whole group.
  2. Every normal automorphism of the whole group restricts to a normal automorphism of the subgroup.

Definition with symbols

A subgroup H of a group G is termed transitively normal if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  1. Whenever K is a normal subgroup of H, K is also a normal subgroup of G.
  2. For any normal automorphism σ of G, the restriction of σ to H is a normal automorphism of H.

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

This follows on account of its being a balanced subgroup property.

Intermediate subgroup condition

YES: This subgroup property satisfies the intermediate subgroup condition: if a subgroup has the property in the whole group, it has the property in every intermediate subgroup.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property satisfying intermediate subgroup condition | View variations of this property not satisfying intermediate subgroup condition
ABOUT INTERMEDIATE SUBROUP CONDITION:View all properties satisfying intermediate subgroup condition | View facts about intermediate subgroup condition

If H is transitively normal in G, H is also transitively normal in any intermediate subgroup of G containing it. This follows from the general fact that normality satisfies intermediate subgroup condition, and the right transiter of any property satisfying intermeditae subgroup condition also satisfies intermediate subgroup condition.

Intersection-closedness

This subgroup property is not intersection-closed, viz., it is not true that an intersection of subgroups with this property must have this property.
Read an article on methods to prove that a subgroup property is not intersection-closed

An intersection of two transitively normal subgroups need not be transitively normal. This follows from the direct product technique. In fact, we can consider normal subgroups of index two that are not transitively normal (for instance, the power of the base in a wreath product by Z/2Z).

For full proof, refer: Transitive normality is not finite-intersection-closed

Join-closedness

This subgroup property is not join-closed, viz., it is not true that a join of subgroups with this property must have this property.
Read an article on methods to prove that a subgroup property is not join-closed

A join of two transitively normal subgroups need not be transitively normal.

For full proof, refer: Transitive normality is not finite-join-closed

Centralizer-closedness

This subgroup property is not centralizer-closed: the centralizer of any subgroup with this property, in the whole group, need not have this property.

The centralizer of a transitively normal subgroup need not be transitively normal.

For full proof, refer: Transitive normality is not centralizer-closed

Image condition

YES: This subgroup property satisfies the image condition, i.e., under any surjective homomorphism, the image of a subgroup satisfying the property also satisfies the property
View other subgroup properties satisfying image condition

The image of a transitively normal subgroup under a surjective homomorphism is transitively normal in the image. For full proof, refer: Transitive normality satisfies image condition

Quotient-transitivity

This subgroup property is not quotient-transitive: the corresponding quotient property is transitive.

If HKG are groups such that H is transitively normal in K and K/H is transitively normal in G/H, it is not necessary that K is transitively normal in G.
