A normal subgroup is a subgroup that is invariant under conjugation by members of the group, meaning for any element in the subgroup and any element in the group, the result of conjugating the subgroup element by the group element is still in the subgroup. This property makes normal subgroups critical for forming quotient groups, which are essential for understanding the structure of groups and their symmetries. Normal subgroups play a vital role in establishing isomorphisms and understanding how groups can be factored into simpler components.
congrats on reading the definition of Normal Subgroup. now let's actually learn it.
