Intersection of subgroups of G is a subgroup of G.
Proof. Denote the intersection of subgroups of
G as
\begin{align*}
K = \cap_{i \in I} H_i
\end{align*}
where for all
i \in I,
H_i are subgroups of
G.
First, we will check that
K is non-empty, i.e., it consists of the identity element. Now, each subgroup of
G contains an identity element. Intersecting all the subgroups has at least the identity element. Therefore,
K contains the identity element, and so
K is non-empty.
Secondly, we want to know that if
x,y \in K, then
xy^{-1} \in K. Since
x,y \in K, we have that
x,y \in H_i \ \forall i \in I. We know that
H_i is a subgroup of
G for all
i \in I. So we get that
xy^{-1} \in H_i for all
i \in I. So
xy^{-1} \in K.
