Definition

A subgroup of a group is termed a commutator-in-center subgroup if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

  1. where denotes the commutator of two subgroups and denotes the center of .
  2. is a normal subgroup of and is trivial, i.e., is a commutator-in-centralizer subgroup.

A group has this property as a subgroup of itself if and only if it has nilpotency class two.
