Extract

Let H and K be groups with derived sub groups and . Following (5) we say that H and K are orthogonal, and write HK, if and only if the tensor product H/ ®K/ is trivial. If H and K are sub groups of a group we say that H and K permute if and only if HK = KH. We recall finally that the subgroup H of the group G is said to be subnormal in G, written H sn G, if and only if there exists a finite chain of subgroups

connecting H to G.
