History

Origin

This term was introduced by: Tuval Foguel

Both the term and the concept of conjugate-permutable subgroups arose in the paper Conjugate-permutable subgroups by Tuval Foguel. Foguel introduced this notion by observing that the proof that permutable subgroups are subnormal actually generalizes to showing that conjugate-permutable subgroups are subnormal (in finite groups).

Definition

Symbol-free definition

A subgroup of a group is termed conjugate-permutable if it permutes with every conjugate of itself, or equivalently, if its product with every conjugate of it is a subgroup.

Definition with symbols

A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed conjugate-permutable if $HH^g = H^gH$ for all $g$ in $G$, or equivalently, if $HH^g$ is a group for all $g$ in $G$.

(here $H^g = g^{-1}Hg$ is a conjugate subgroup to $H$ in $G$).

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)

First-order description

This subgroup property is a first-order subgroup property, viz., it has a first-order description in the theory of groups.
View a complete list of first-order subgroup properties

A subgroup $H$ is conjugate-permutable in a group $G$ if the following first-order sentence is satisfied:

$\forall g \in G, \forall x,y \in H \exists a,b \in H . (xgyg^{-1} = gag^{-1}b)$

Relation implication expression

This subgroup property is a relation implication-expressible subgroup property: it can be defined and viewed using a relation implication expression

The property of being conjugate-permutable can be encoded as conjugate subgroups $\implies$ permuting subgroups. In other words $H$ is conjugate-permutable in $G$ iff any conjugate subgroup to $H$, permutes with $H$.

In terms of the permutability operator

This property is obtained by applying the permutability operator to the property: conjugate subgroups
View other properties obtained by applying the permutability operator

The property of being conjugate-permutable is obtained by applying the permutability operator to the subgroup pair property of being conjugate.

Relation with other properties

Stronger properties

• Normal subgroup
• Permutable subgroup
• 2-subnormal subgroup: For full proof, refer: 2-subnormal implies conjugate-permutable
• Automorph-permutable subgroup

Weaker properties

• Subnormal subgroup (for finite groups): For proof of the implication, refer Conjugate-permutable implies subnormal (finite groups) and for proof of its strictness (i.e. the reverse implication being false) refer Subnormal not implies conjugate-permutable.
• Descendant subgroup: For full proof, refer: Conjugate-permutable implies descendant

Opposite properties

• Self-conjugate-permutable subgroup: A subgroup is both conjugate-permutable and self-conjugate-permutable iff it is normal.

Metaproperties

Metaproperty name	Satisfied?	Proof	Statement with symbols
transitive subgroup property	No	conjugate-permutability is not transitive	It is possible to have groups $H \le K \le G$ such that $H$ is conjugate-permutable in $K$ and $K$ is conjugate-permutable in $G$, but $H$ is not conjugate-permutable in $G$.
intermediate subgroup condition	Yes	conjugate-permutability satisfies intermediate subgroup condition	If $H$ is a conjugate-permutable subgroup of $G$, and $K$ is any intermediate subgroup of $G$, then $H$ is conjugate-permutable in $K$.
conjugate-join-closed subgroup property	Yes	conjugate-permutability is conjugate-join-closed	If $H$ is a conjugate-permutable subgroup of $G$, then a join of conjugate subgroups to $H$ is again conjugate-permutable.
finite-join-closed subgroup property	No	conjugate-permutability is not finite-join-closed	It is possible to have a group $G$ and conjugate-permutable subgroup $H,K$ of $G$ such that the join of subgroups $\langle H,K \rangle$ is not a conjugate-permutable subgroup.
finite-intersection-closed subgroup property	No	conjugate-permutability is not finite-intersection-closed	It is possible to have a group $G$ and conjugate-permutable subgroup $H,K$ of $G$ such that the intersection of subgroups $H \cap K$ is not a conjugate-permutable subgroup.
directed union-closed subgroup property	Yes	conjugate-permutability is directed union-closed	Suppose $(H_i)_{i \in I}$ is a directed set of subgroups of a group $G$, and every $H_i$ is conjugate-permutable in $G$. Then, the directed union of the $H_i$s is also conjugate-permutable in $G$.

Effect of property operators

Transiters and residuals

• The right transiter of conjugate-permutability is the balanced subgroup property corresponding to subgroup-conjugating automorphisms, namely the property of being a SCAB-subgroup. For full proof, refer: Right-transiter of conjugate-permutable is SCAB
• The left residual by normality is the property of being automorph-permutable. Incidentally, this also shows that any 2-subnormal subgroup of a group is conjugate-permutable. For full proof, refer: left residual of conjugate-permutable by normal is automorph-permutable
