SUMMARY
In the context of group theory, specifically within Abelian groups, it is established that conjugation by any element results in triviality for normal subgroups. Given an Abelian group G, if A is a normal subgroup and B is any subgroup, the equation a_1c_{b_1}(a_2) = a_2c_{b_2}(a_1) necessitates that c_{b_1}(a_2) = a_2 and c_{b_2}(a_1) = a_1. This is due to the property of conjugation in Abelian groups where ghg^{-1} = g^{-1}hg, confirming that all elements commute.
