Malnormal subgroup

Malnormal subgroup

In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a subgroup H of a group G is termed malnormal if for any x in G but not in H, H and Hx intersect in the identity element.

Some facts about malnormality:

  • An intersection of malnormal subgroups is malnormal.
  • Malnormality is transitive, that is, a malnormal subgroup of a malnormal subgroup is malnormal.
  • The trivial subgroup and the whole group are malnormal subgroups. A normal subgroup that is also malnormal must be one of these.
  • Every malnormal subgroup is a TI subgroup.
