1	transitively normal	every normal subgroup of the subgroup is normal in the whole group.	whenever $K$ is a normal subgroup of $H$, $K$ is also a normal subgroup of $G$.
2	normal automorphisms restriction	every normal automorphism of the whole group restricts to a normal automorphism of the subgroup.	for any normal automorphism $\sigma$ of $G$, the restriction of $\sigma$ to $H$ is a normal automorphism of $H$.
3	normal CEP-subgroup	it is a normal subgroup as well as a CEP-subgroup: every normal subgroup of it is an intersection with it of a normal subgroup of the whole group	$H$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ and for any normal subgroup $K$ of $H$ there exists a normal subgroup $L$ of $G$ such that $K = H \cap L$.

Examples

Extreme examples

Metaproperty name	Satisfied?	Proof	Statement with symbols
transitive subgroup property	Yes	transitive normality is transitive	If $H \le K \le G$ are groups such that $H$ is transitively normal in $K$ and $K$ is transitively normal in $G$, then $H$ is transitively normal in $G$.
intermediate subgroup condition	Yes	transitive normality satisfies intermediate subgroup condition	If $H \le K \le G$ and $H$ is transitively normal in $G$, then $H$ is transitively normal in $K$.
finite-intersection-closed subgroup property	No	transitive normality is not finite-intersection-closed	It is possible to have a group $G$ and transitively normal subgroups $H_1,H_2$ of $G$ such that $H_1 \cap H_2$ is not transitively normal in $G$.
finite-join-closed subgroup property	No	transitive normality is not finite-join-closed	It is possible to have a group $G$ and transitively normal subgroups $H_1,H_2$ of $G$ such that the join $\langle H_1,H_2\rangle$ (which is the same as the product $H_1H_2$) is not transitively normal.
centralizer-closed subgroup property	No	transitive normality is not centralizer-closed	It is possible to have a group $G$ and a transitively normal subgroup $H$ of $G$ such that the centralizer $C_G(H)$ is not transitively normal.
image condition	Yes	transitive normality satisfies image condition	If $H$ is a transitively normal subgroup of $G$ and $\varphi:G \to K$ is a surjective homomorphism, then $\varphi(H)$ is a transitively normal subgroup of $K$.
quotient-transitive subgroup property	No	transitive normality is not quotient-transitive	It is possible to have groups $H \le K \le G$ such that $H$ is transitively normal in $G$ and $K/H$ is transitively normal in $G/H$, but $K$ is not transitively normal in $G$.
