In mathematics, in the field of group theory, a conjugate-permutable subgroup is a subgroup that commutes with all its conjugate subgroups. The term was introduced by Tuval Foguel in 1997{{citation | last = Foguel | first = Tuval | doi = 10.1006/jabr.1996.6924 | issue = 1 | journal = Journal of Algebra | mr = 1444498 | pages = 235–239 | title = Conjugate-permutable subgroups | volume = 191 | year = 1997| doi-access =
Clearly, every quasinormal subgroup is conjugate-permutable.
In fact, it is true that for a finite group:
- Every maximal conjugate-permutable subgroup is normal.
- Every conjugate-permutable subgroup is a conjugate-permutable subgroup of every intermediate subgroup containing it.
- Combining the above two facts, every conjugate-permutable subgroup is subnormal.
Conversely, every 2-subnormal subgroup (that is, a subgroup that is a normal subgroup of a normal subgroup) is conjugate-permutable.
