Definition

No.	Shorthand	A subgroup of a group is termed transitively normal if ...	A subgroup $H$ of a group $G$ is termed transitively normal if ...
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

Metaproperties

BEWARE! This section of the article uses terminology local to the wiki, possibly without giving a full explanation of the terminology used (though efforts have been made to clarify terminology as much as possible within the particular context)

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 $G$.
