Let $G$ be a finite group and $H subseteq G$. Is it true that $H$ is a characteristic subgroup of $N_G(H)$? Knowing that "the something" subgroup must be characteristic, I believe it must be true.
Any comments would be appreciated!

  • Note that $H$ is not "the something" subgroup of $N_G(H)$ here...

Let $G=C_ptimes C_p$ and $H$ any subgroup of order $p$. Then $N_G(H)=G$
but $H$ is not characteristic in $G$.
