Definition

Symbol-free definition

An automorphism of a group is termed normal-extensible if, for any embedding of the group as a normal subgroup of another group, the automorphism can be extended to an automorphism of the bigger group.

Definition with symbols

An automorphism $\sigma$ of a group $G$ is termed normal-extensible if, for any embedding of $G$ as a normal subgroup of another group $H$ there is an automorphism ${\sigma }^{\prime }$ of $H$ such that the restriction of ${\sigma }^{\prime }$ to $G$ is $\sigma$.

In terms of the qualified extensibility operator

The property of normal-extensibility arises by applying the qualified extensibility operator with the qualifying property being normality and the the automorphism property being the tautology (that is, the property of being any automorphism).

Relation with other properties

Stronger properties

• Inner automorphism
• Extensible automorphism
• Iteratively normal-extensible automorphism viz $\alpha$-normal extensible automorphism for an ordinal $\alpha$ that is at least 1
• Subnormal-extensible automorphism
• Normal series-extensible automorphism

Weaker properties

• Characteristic-extensible automorphism
• Central factor-extensible automorphism

Metaproperties

Group-closedness

This automorphism property is group-closed: it is closed under the group operations on automorphisms (composition, inversion and the identity map). It follows that the subgroup comprising automorphisms with this property, is a normal subgroup of the automorphism group

The collection of normal-extensible automorphisms of a group form a subgroup of the automorphism group. This follows from the general fact that the qualified extensibility operator is a group-closure-preserving automorphism property operator.
