the derived subgroup is normal
We are going to prove:
”The derived subgroup (or commutator subgroup) is normal in ”
Proof:
We have to show that for each , it is also in .
Since is the subgroup generated by the all commutators in , then for each we have –a word of commutators– so for all .
Now taking any element of we can see that
that is
so a conjugation of a commutator is another commutator, thenfor the conjugation
is another word of commutators, hence is in which in turn implies that is normal in , QED.
