Proof

Given: A group , a subgroup . A surjective homomorphism of groups. . is a normal subgroup of .

To prove: is normal in .

Proof:

  1. is normal in and : Let be the restriction of . Then, is a surjective homomorphism by definition, and fact (1) yields that is normal in . Further, clearly surjects to , since is surjective. But by definition, so is normal in and .
  2. is normal in : From the previous step, is normal in . By assumption, is transitively normal in . Thus, must be normal in .
  3. is normal in </math>K</math>: This follows from fact (2).
