Let G be a group and H a subgroup of G. H is a normal (or distinguished) subgroup of G if and only if (Va € G)(aH = Ha), where aH = {ah | h H} and Ha= {hah € H} respectively. Recalling that the sets aH and Ha are called cosets of H, this definition says that H is normal if and only if the left and right cosets corresponding to each element are equal. We will meet cosets again when we pick up our reading of Hölder in the next section. The tasks in the rest of this section first provide some practice with using Definition l' and two other methods that can be used to prove a particular subgroup is normal. Task 5 Let G be a group, and recall that the center of G is the subgroup defined by C = {rG| (Vy € G) (yx = xy)}. Use Definition 1' to prove that C is a normal subgroup in G. (You can assume C is a suboroun of G and inst prove the normality of Cin G)
