Definition

Symbol-free definition

A group is said to be Noetherian or slender or to satisfy the maximum condition on subgroups if it satisfies the following equivalent conditions:

1. Every subgroup is finitely generated
2. Any ascending chain of subgroups stabilizes after a finite length.
3. Any nonempty collection of subgroups has a maximal element: a member of that collection that is not contained in any other member of the collection.

Formalisms

In terms of the hereditarily operator

This property is obtained by applying the hereditarily operator to the property: finitely generated group

Metaproperties

Metaproperty name	Satisfied?	Proof	Statement with symbols
subgroup-closed group property	Yes	Noetherianness is subgroup-closed	If $G$ is a Noetherian group and $H \le G$ is a subgroup, then $H$ is Noetherian.
quotient-closed group property	Yes	Noetherianness is quotient-closed	If $G$ is a Noetherian group and $H \le G$ is a normal subgroup, the quotient group $G/H$ is Noetherian.
extension-closed group property	Yes	Noetherianness is extension-closed	If $H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ such that both $H$ and $G/H$ are Noetherian, then $G$ is also Noetherian.
