\section{An Application of Cosets to Permutation Groups}
\begin{definition}[Stabilizer of a Point]
Let $G$ be a group of permutations of a set $S$. For each $i$ in $S$, let stab$_G(i)=\{\phi \in G\ \vert\ \phi(i) = i\}$. We call stab$_G(i)$ the \textit{stabilizer of $i$ in $G$}.
\end{definition}
\begin{definition}[Orbit of a Point]
Let $G$ be a group of permutations of a set $S$. For each $s$ in $S$, let orb$_G(s)=\{\phi(s)\ \vert\ \phi \in G\}$. The set orb$_G(s)$ is a subset of $S$ called the \textit{orbit of $s$ under $G$}. We use $\abs{\text{orb}_G(s)}$ to denote the number of elements in orb$_G(s)$.
\end{definition}
\begin{theorem}[Orbit-Stabilizer Theorem]
Let $G$ be a finite group of permutations of a set $S$. Then, for any $i$ from $S$, $\abs{G} = \abs{\text{orb}_G(i)}\abs{\text{stab}_G(i)}$.
\end{theorem}

\section{Lagrange's Theorem and Consequences}
\begin{theorem}[Lagrange's Theorem: $\mathbf{\abs{H} \text{ Divides } \abs{G}}$]
If $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$, then $\abs{H}$ divides $\abs{G}$. Moreover, the number of distinct left (right) cosets of $H$ in $G$ is $\abs{G}/\abs{H}$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{remark}
A special name and notation have been adopted for the number of left (or right) cosets of a subgroup in a group. The \textit{index} of a subgroup $H$ in $G$ is the number of distinct left cosets of $H$ in $G$. This number is denoted by $\abs{G:H}$.
\end{remark}
\begin{corollary}[$\mathbf{\abs{G:H} = \abs{G}/\abs{H}}$]
If $G$ is a finite group and $H$ is a subgroup of $G$, then $\abs{G:H} = \abs{G}/\abs{H}$.
\end{corollary}
\begin{corollary}[$\mathbf{\abs{a}}$ Divides $\mathbf{\abs{G}}$]
In a finite group, the order of each element of the group divides the order of the group.
\end{corollary}
\begin{corollary}[Groups of Prime Order Are Cyclic]
A group of prime order is cyclic.
\end{corollary}
\begin{corollary}[$\mathbf{a^{\abs{G}}=e}$]
Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $a \in G$. Then, $a^{\abs{G}} = e$.
\end{corollary}
\begin{corollary}[Fermat's Little Theorem]
For every integer $a$ and every prime $p$, $a^p \mod p = a \mod p$.
\end{corollary}
\begin{theorem}[$\mathbf{\abs{HK} = \abs{H}\abs{K}/\abs{H \cap K}}$]
For two finite subgroups $H$ and $K$ of a group, define the set $HK = \{hk\ \vert\ h \in H, k \in K\}$. Then $\abs{HK} = \abs{H}\abs{K}/\abs{H \cap K}$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{theorem}[Classification of Groups of order 2$\mathbf{p}$]
Let $G$ be a group of order $2p$, where $p$ is a prime greater than 2. Then $G$ is isomorphic to $\Z_{2p}$ or $D_p$.

\section{Properties of Cosets}
\begin{definition}[Coset of $\mathbf{H}$ in $\mathbf{G}$]
Let $G$ be a group and let $H$ be a nonempty subset of $G$. For any $a \in G$, the set $\{ah\ \vert\ h \in H\}$ is denoted by $aH$. Analogously, $Ha = \{ha\ \vert\ h \in H\}$ and $aHa^{-1} = \{aha^{-1}\ \vert\ h \in H\}$. When $H$ is a subgroup of $G$, the set $aH$ is called the \textit{left coset of $H$ in $G$ containing $a$}, whereas $Ha$ is called the \textit{right coset of $H$ in $G$ containing $a$}. In this case, the element $a$ is called the \textit{coset representative of $aH$ (or $Ha$)}. We use $\abs{aH}$ to denote the number of elements in the set $aH$, and $\abs{Ha}$ to denote the number of elements in $Ha$.
\end{definition}
\begin{lem}[ Properties of Cosets]
Let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$, and let $a$ and $b$ belong to $G$. Then,
\begin{enumerate}
\item $a \in aH$.
\item $aH = H$ if and only if $a \in H$.
\item $(ab)H = a(bH)$ and $H(ab) = (Ha)b$.
\item $aH = bH$ if and only if $a \in bH$.
\item $aH = bH$ or $aH \cap bH = \emptyset$.
\item $aH = bH$ if and only if $a^{-1}b \in H$.
\item $\abs{aH}=\abs{bH}$.
\item $aH = Ha$ if and only if $H = aHa^{-1}$.
\item $aH$ is a subgroup of $G$ if and only if $a \in H$.
