If H is a subgroup of G then N(H) is defined as { x belonging to G | xHx^-1 = H }. If P is p-Sylow subgroup of G, then prove that N(N(P)) = N(P).

SUMMARY
This discussion centers on the proof that for a p-Sylow subgroup P of a group G, the normalizer of the normalizer, N(N(P)), is equal to the normalizer N(P). The definition of the normalizer N(H) is established as the set of elements x in G such that xHx^-1 = H. The proof requires demonstrating both inclusions, with the inclusion N(P) < N(N(P)) being straightforward, while the reverse inclusion relies on the fact that P is normal in N(P), confirming that P is the only Sylow p-subgroup of N(P).
