Normalizer condition

for subgroups

The condition on a group that every proper subgroup is strictly contained in its normalizer (cf. Normalizer of a subset). Every group satisfying the normalizer condition is a locally nilpotent group. On the other hand, all nilpotent groups, and even groups having an ascending central series ($ZA$-groups), satisfy the normalizer condition. However, there are groups with the normalizer condition and with a trivial centre. Thus, the class of groups with the normalizer condition strictly lies in between the classes of $ZA$-groups and locally nilpotent groups.
