G-Set


If G is a group and X a set, then X is called a left G-Set if there exists a mapping λ:G×XX with

λ(g1,λ(g2,x))=λ(g1g2,x)

or shorter with λ(g,x)=gx

g1(g2(x))=(g1g2)(x)

for all xX and g1,g2G. And when G acts on a set X, the set X is always a G-set.

X is called a right G-Set if there exists a mapping λ:X×GX with

λ(λ(x,g2),g1)=λ(x,g2g1)
