Conjugate Subgroup


A conjugate subgroup of a subgroup H of a group G is the subgroup xHx^(-1)={xhx^(-1):h in H}, where x is any group element of G. If xHx^(-1)=H for all x in G, then H is a normal subgroup (also called "self-conjugate" or "invariant").

All subgroups of an Abelian group are normal subgroups.
