Pronormal implies self-conjugate-permutable

From Groupprops

This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of an implication relation between two subgroup properties. That is, it states that every subgroup satisfying the first subgroup property (i.e., pronormal subgroup) must also satisfy the second subgroup property (i.e., self-conjugate-permutable subgroup)

Statement

Property-theoretic statement

The subgroup property of being pronormal is stronger than the subgroup property of being self-conjugate-permutable.

Verbal statement

Any pronormal subgroup is self-conjugate-permutable.

Facts used

  1. Product of conjugates is proper: If G is a group and H is a subgroup such that there exists gG for which HHg=G, then H=G.

Proof

Given: A group G, a pronormal subgroup H.

To prove: If HHg=HgH for some gG, then Hg=H.

Proof: Let K=H,Hg=HHg.

  1. (Given data used: H is pronormal in G): There exists xK such that Hg=Hx. Thus, K=HHx.
  2. (Fact used: fact (1), product of conjugates is proper): K is the product of two conjugate subgroups, so fact (1) forces that K=H. Since xK, we also get K=Hx. Thus, H=Hg.
