The set

that is, the set of all elements of such that (the conjugate of by ) for every also belongs to . For any and the normalizer is a subgroup of . An important special case is the normalizer of a subgroup of a group in . A subgroup of a group is normal (or invariant, cf. Invariant subgroup) in if and only if . The normalizer of a set consisting of a single element is the same as its centralizer. For any and the cardinality of the class of subsets conjugate to by elements of (that is, subsets of the form , ) is equal to the index .
