On the join of subnormal elements in a lattice

Robert Leroy Kruse

Vol. 28 (1969), No. 3, 571–574
Abstract

Of fundamental importance to the study of subnormal subgroups is the following result of Wielandt:

Let A and B be subnormal subgroups of a group G such that A is normal in A B. Then A B is subnormal in G.

The usual proof of Wielandt’s result depends on the construction by conjugation of a special subnormal series from A to G. It would be of interest to obtain a proof which uses only the given subnormal series, without explicit dependence on conjugation, and valid in algebraic systems other than groups.

This note presents, in the more general context of a lattice with the normality relation introduced by R. A. Dean, a proof of the analogous result in case either A or B has defect three or less.
