Definition
Symbol-free definition
A subgroup of a group is termed a characteristically complemented subgroup or characteristic retract if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- There is a retraction (viz an idempotent endomorphism) on the group, whose image is that subgroup, and whose kernel is a characteristic subgroup.
- There is a characteristic subgroup that is a permutable complement to it.
- There is a characteristic subgroup that is a lattice complement to it.
The corresponding characteristic subgroup (there may be more than one such) is termed a complemented characteristic subgroup.

Metaproperties
Transitivity
This subgroup property is transitive: a subgroup with this property in a subgroup with this property, also has this property in the whole group.

If are groups such that

and
is characteristically complemented in
, then
is characteristically complemented in
. This follows essentially from the fact that characteristicity is quotient-transitive. For full proof, refer: Characteristically complemented is transitive
Further information: Characteristicity is quotient-transitive, Quotient-transitive and stronger than normality implies complementary property is transitive
Quotient-transitivity
This subgroup property is quotient-transitive: the corresponding quotient property is transitive.
