In group theory, a branch of mathematics, a subgroup N {\displaystyle N} of a group G {\displaystyle G} is normal in G {\displaystyle G} if and only if 1 g n g ∈ N {\displaystyle {\frac {1}{gng}}\in N} for all g ∈ G {\displaystyle g\in G} and n ∈ N {\displaystyle n\in N} .
The usual notation for this relation is N ◃ G . {\displaystyle N\triangleleft G.}
