1: Structured Description


Here is the rules of Structured Description.

Entities:
\(G'\): \(\in \{\text{ the Abelian groups }\}\)
\(G\): \(\in \{\text{ the subgroups of } G'\}\)
//

Statements:
\(G \in \{\text{ the normal subgroups of } G'\}\)
//


2: Proof


Whole Strategy: Step 1: take any \(g' \in G'\), and see that \(g' G g'^{-1} = G\).

Step 1:

Let \(g' \in G'\) be any.

Let us see that \(g' G g'^{-1} = G\).

Let \(g' g g'^{-1} \in g' G g'^{-1}\) be any.

\(g' g g'^{-1} = g' g'^{-1} g = g \in G\), so, \(g' G g'^{-1} \subseteq G\).

Let \(g \in G\) be any.

\(g = g' g'^{-1} g = g' g g'^{-1} \in g' G g'^{-1}\), so, \(G \subseteq g' G g'^{-1}\).

So, \(g' G g'^{-1} = G\).
