Definition:Normal Subgroup/Definition 5

Definition
Let $G$ be a group.

Let $N$ be a subgroup of $G$.

$N$ is a normal subgroup of $G$ :
 * $\forall g \in G: g \circ N \circ g^{-1} = N$
 * $\forall g \in G: g^{-1} \circ N \circ g = N$

where $g \circ N$ etc. denotes the subset product of $g$ with $N$.

That is:
 * $\forall g \in G: \map {\kappa_g} N = N$

where $\map {\kappa_g} N$ denotes the inner automorphism of $N$ by $g$.
