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×X→X with

λ⁢(g1,λ⁢(g2,x))=λ⁢(g1⁢g2,x)

or shorter with λ⁢(g,x)=g⁢x

g1⁢(g2⁢(x))=(g1⁢g2)⁢(x)

for all x∈X and g1,g2∈G. 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×G→X with

λ⁢(λ⁢(x,g2),g1)=λ⁢(x,g2⁢g1)
