Let It be a subgroup of G For a b E G define
a H b a b E H
it is an equivalence relation on 6reflexivesymmetric
transitive
For a c G the equivalence class a is
a beG 1 arabBEG I
we call alt ah heh the left coset of It containing a
similarly Ha ha halt is a rightcoset These are the equivalenceclasses of
