Normal subsystems of fusion systems

Received 14 November 2006. Revision received 16 August 2007.

The notion of a fusion system was first defined and explored by Puig in the context of modular representation theory. Later, Broto, Levi, and Oliver significantly extended the theory of fusion systems as a tool in homotopy theory. In this paper we begin a program to establish a local theory of fusion systems similar to the local theory of finite groups. In particular, we define the notion of a normal subsystem of a saturated fusion system, and prove some basic results about normal subsystems and factor systems.
