Right cosets are defined in an analogous fashion:
For both of these, we have the following proposition:
Analogously, we have the following proposition:
That is, the index is precisely the number of left cosets.
Hence, we may also use the notation for the number of right cosets.
Exercises
- Prove that , thus establishing another formula for the equivalence relation of being in the same coset.
- Formulate Lagrange's theorem for right cosets, without using index notation.
