From Groupprops
This article defines a subgroup property: a property that can be evaluated to true/false given a group and a subgroup thereof, invariant under subgroup equivalence. View a complete list of subgroup properties[SHOW MORE]

History
This term was introduced by: Wang
Wang introduced the notion of c-normal subgroup in his paper C -Normality of Groups and Its Properties.
Definition
Symbol-free definition
A subgroup of a group is termed c-normal if there is a normal subgroup whose product with it is the whole group and whose intersection with it lies inside its normal core.
Definition with symbols
A subgroup of a group
is termed c-normal if there is a normal subgroup
such that the intersection of

Metaproperties
Intermediate subgroup condition
YES: This subgroup property satisfies the intermediate subgroup condition: if a subgroup has the property in the whole group, it has the property in every intermediate subgroup.

If is c-normal in

being a normal subgroup that shows it, then
is also c-normal in any intermediate subgroup
, and further, the normal subgroup that does the trick is
. This follows because:
(the first step is the famous modular property of groups and can be proved easily.)
