A subgroup Q of a group G is called quasinormal in G if Q permutes with every subgroup of G. Of course a quasinormal subgroup Q of a group G may be very far from normal. In fact, examples of Iwasawa show (for a convenient reference see [8]) that we may have Q core-free and the normal closure QG of Q in G equal to G so that Q is not even subnormal in G. We note also that the core of Q in G, QG, is of infinite index in QG in this example. If G is finitely generated then any quasinormal subgroup Q is subnormal in G [8] and although Q is not necessarily normal in G we have that |QG:Q| is finite and |QG:Q| is a nilpotent group of finite exponent [5].
