Definition

The transitivity-forcing operator is an operator that takes as input a subgroup property and outputs a group property. Applied to a subgroup property p it returns a group property q as follows:

G satisfies property q if and only if whenever HKG and H satisfies p in K and K satisfies p in G, then H satisfies p in G.

The word transitivity-forcing is because applied to a transitive subgroup property, it gives the group property which is true for all groups.
