    Graduate Group action on cosets of subgroups in non-abelian groups

    This is not a homework question, just a general question. Let G be a non-abelian finite group, S < G a non-normal proper subgroup of index v >= 2, and G/S the set of v right cosets S_1 = S, S_2, ..., S_v, of S in G. We know there is a naturally defined right-multiplication action G x G/S -->...

    Proving Cosets of Subgroups in Nonabelian Finite Groups

    Hi, This is not a homework question. I am a trying to prove a result for myself, and the question is can I always find, in a nonabelian finite group G, and some fixed proper subgroup S < G, two distinct elements, which we shall call x and y, outside of S, such that the cosets Sx = Sx^{-1}...

    Graduate Can Elements and Their Inverses Occupy Distinct Cosets in Nonabelian Groups?

    Hi, This is not a homework question.
