From Groupprops
This article defines a subgroup property: a property that can be evaluated to true/false given a group and a subgroup thereof, invariant under subgroup equivalence. View a complete list of subgroup properties[SHOW MORE]

Definition
Definition with symbols
A subgroup of a group
is termed polynormal if given any
,
is a contranormal subgroup in the subgroup
, i.e., the closure of
under the action by conjugation of the cyclic subgroup generated by
.

Metaproperties
Intermediate subgroup condition
YES: This subgroup property satisfies the intermediate subgroup condition: if a subgroup has the property in the whole group, it has the property in every intermediate subgroup.

If is polynormal in
,
is also polynormal in any intermediate subgroup
. For full proof, refer: Polynormality satisfies intermediate subgroup condition
Trimness
This subgroup property is trim -- it is both trivially true (true for the trivial subgroup) and identity-true (true for a group as a subgroup of itself).

The whole group and the trivial subgroup are polynormal; in fact they are normal.
Join-closedness
YES: This subgroup property is join-closed: an arbitrary (nonempty) join of subgroups with this property, also has this property.
ABOUT THIS PROPERTY: View variations of this property that are join-closed | View variations of this property that are not join-closed
ABOUT JOIN-CLOSEDNESS: View all join-closed subgroup properties (or, strongly join-closed properties) | View all subgroup properties that are not join-closed | Read a survey article on proving join-closedness | Read a survey article on disproving join-closedness
In fact, an arbitrary, possibly empty, join of polynormal subgroups is polynormal. For full proof, refer: Polynormality is strongly join-closed
