Definition

Symbol-free definition

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

Formalisms

BEWARE! This section of the article uses terminology local to the wiki, possibly without giving a full explanation of the terminology used (though efforts have been made to clarify terminology as much as possible within the particular context)

In terms of the upper-hook operator

Given two subgroup properties $p$ and $q$, the upper-hook operator of $p$ and $q$ is defined as the following property $r$: a subgroup $H$ of a group $K$ has property $r$ if there exists a group $G$ containing $K$ such that $H$ has property $p$ in $G$ and $K$ has property $q$ in $G$.

The property of being strongly potentially characteristic is thus obtained by applying the upper-hook operator to the property characteristic subgroup with itself.

Weaker properties

• Normal-potentially characteristic subgroup
• Normal-potentially relatively characteristic subgroup
• Potentially characteristic subgroup: For proof of the implication, refer Strongly potentially characteristic implies potentially characteristic and for proof of its strictness (i.e. the reverse implication being false) refer Potentially characteristic not implies strongly potentially characteristic.
• Normal subgroup: For proof of the implication, refer Characteristic-potentially characteristic implies normal and for proof of its strictness (i.e. the reverse implication being false) refer Normal not implies characteristic-potentially characteristic.
• Potentially relatively characteristic subgroup: This is a weaker notion, that turns out to be the same as normality. For full proof, refer: Potentially relatively characteristic equals normal
• Characteristic-extensible automorphism-invariant subgroup
• Normal-extensible automorphism-invariant subgroup

Intersection-closedness

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