Normal Subsystems of Fusion Systems

Abstract

In this article we prove that for any saturated fusion system, that the (unique) smallest weakly normal subsystem of it on a given strongly closed subgroup is actually normal. This has a variety of corollaries, such as the statement that the notion of a simple fusion system is independent of whether one uses weakly normal or normal subsystems. We also develop a theory of weakly normal maps, consider intersections and products of weakly normal subsystems, and the hypercentre of a fusion system.
