Subgroup of Index 2 is Normal
Any subgroup with exactly two cosets is invariant under conjugation
Subgroup of Index 2 is Normal
Subgroup of Index 2 is Normal: Let be a group and let be a subgroup . If the index of in is , then is normal in .
Equivalently: if there are exactly two left cosets of in , then the left cosets equal the right cosets, so for all .
Proof sketch: There are exactly two left cosets, namely and . For any , the right coset is a coset of the same size as , hence must be either or . If then . If then both and are cosets distinct from , hence both equal , so . Therefore is normal.
