A subgroup of an original group
has elements
. Let
be a fixed element of the original group
which is not a member of
. Then the transformation
, (
, 2, ...) generates the so-called conjugate subgroup
. If, for all
,
, then
is a normal (also called
"self-conjugate" or "invariant") subgroup.
All subgroups of an Abelian group are normal.
