The fourth group isomorphism theorem, also called the lattice group isomorphism theorem, lets
be a group and let
, where
indicates that
is a normal subgroup of
.
Then there is a bijection from the set of subgroups
of
that contain
onto the set of subgroups
of
. In particular, every subgroup
is of the form
for some subgroup
of
containing
(namely, its preimage in
under the natural projection homomorphism from
to
.) This bijection has the following properties: for all
with
and
,
1.
iff
2. If ,
then
3. ,
where
denotes the subgroup generated by
and
