Definition
Symbol-free definition
A group is said to be slender or Noetherian or to satisfy the maximum condition on subgroups if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- Every subgroup is finitely generated
- Any ascending chain of subgroups stabilizes after a finite length
- Any nonempty collection of subgroups has a maximal element: a member of that collection that is not contained in any other member of the collection.
Formalisms
In terms of the hereditarily operator
This property is obtained by applying the hereditarily operator to the property: finitely generated group
