Concept
Normal closure (group theory)
Summary
In group theory, the normal closure of a subset of a group is the smallest normal subgroup of containing
Formally, if is a group and is a subset of the normal closure of is the intersection of all normal subgroups of containing :
The normal closure is the smallest normal subgroup of containing in the sense that is a subset of every normal subgroup of that contains
The subgroup is generated by the set of all conjugates of elements of in
Therefore one can also write
Any normal subgroup is equal to its normal closure. The conjugate closure of the empty set is the trivial subgroup.
