In abstract algebra, a chief series is a maximal normal series for a group.
It is similar to a composition series, though the two concepts are distinct in general: a chief series is a maximal normal series, while a composition series is a maximal subnormal series.
Chief series can be thought of as breaking the group down into less complicated pieces, which may be used to characterize various qualities of the group.
