Definition

Symbol-free definition

A subgroup of a group is termed strongly potentially characteristic if there is an embedding of the bigger group in some group such that, in that embedding both the group and the subgroup become characteristic.

Definition with symbols

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed potentially characteristic in $G$ if there exists a group $K$ containing $G$ such that both $H$ and $G$ are characteristic in $K$ .

In terms of the strongly potentially operator

The subgroup property of being potentially characteristic is obtained by applying the strongly potentially operator to the subgroup property of being characteristic.

Conjecture of equalling normality

{conjecturedtoequal|normality}}

The NSPC conjecture states that every normal subgorup is strongly potentially characteristic. In other words, if $H\triangleleft G$ , there is a group $K$ containing $G$ such that both both $H$ and $G$ are characteristic in $K$ .

Transitivity

NO: This subgroup property is not transitive: a subgroup with this property in a subgroup with this property, need not have the property in the whole group

Intersection-closedness

The problem of whether an intersection (finite or arbitrary) of subgroups with this property again has this property is an open problem.

Property operators

Left transiter

Every characteristic subgroup of a strongly potentially characteristic subgroup is strongly potentially characteristic. In fact, the same supergroup works.

That is, suppose $M\leq G\leq H$ with $M$ characteristic in $G$ and $G$ strongly potentially characteristic in $H$ . Then, there exists a group $K$ containing $H$ such that both $G$ and $H$ are characteristic in $K$ . Then, we also have that both $M$ and $H$ are characteristic in $K$ , and hence $M$ is strongly potentially characteristic in $H$ .
