of a group

A subgroup series of ,

where each subgroup is a normal subgroup of . The quotient groups are called factors, and the number is called the length of the subnormal series. Infinite subnormal series have also been studied (see Subgroup system). A subnormal series that cannot be refined further is called a composition series, and its factors are called composition factors.


Comments

A subnormal series is also called a subinvariant series.
