Definition

Symbol-free definition

A subgroup property is said to be normal closure-closed if whenever a subgroup has the property in the whole group, its normal closure also has the property.

Definition with symbols

A subgroup property p is said to be normal core-closed if whenever H satisfies property p in G, the normal core <HG> also satisfies p in G.

Subgroup properties that are normal closure-closed

Join-closed subgroup properties

One way of establishing that a subgroup property is normal closure-closed is to show that the join of any family of subgroups having the property, also has the property.

Subgroup properties stronger than normality

If a subgroup property is stronger than normality, then the normal closure of any subgroup having the property is itself, and hence whenever a subgroup has the property, so does its normal closure.
