Definition

Suppose $G$ is a group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$. We say that $H$ is a completely divisibility-closed normal subgroup of $G$ if the following equivalent conditions are satisfied:

1. $H$ is both a normal subgroup of $G$ and a completely divisibility-closed subgroup of $G$.
2. $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$, and for any prime number $p$ such that $G$ is $p$-divisible, the quotient group $G/H$ is $p$-torsion-free.
