Definition
A group is termed a group in which every characteristic submonoid is a subgroup if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:
- Every characteristic subset that is a submonoid under the group multiplication is a subgroup, and hence a characteristic subgroup, of the whole group.
- Every characteristic subset that is nonempty and is a subsemigroup under the group multiplication is a subgroup, and hence a characteristic subgroup, of the whole group.
Facts
- Characteristic submonoid of group not implies subgroup shows that this property is not tautological.
