From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

If G is a group and H a subgroup of G, x is an element in G, and h is an element in H the cosets of H in G are defined as follows:

  • Left coset: xH is the set H with every element h of H multiplied by x on the left.
  • Right coset: Hx is the set H with every element h of H multiplied by x on the right.

When xH = Hx we say that H is normal in G.
