left and right cosets in a double coset


Let H and K be subgroupsMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmath of a group G. Every double coset HgK, with gG, is a union of right (http://planetmath.org/Coset) or left cosetsMathworldPlanetmath, since

HgK=kKHgk=hHhgK,

but these unions need not be disjoint. In particular, from the above equality we cannot say how many right (or left) cosets fit in a double coset.

The following propositionPlanetmathPlanetmath aims to clarify this.

- Let H and K be subgroups of a group G and gG. We have that

HgK=[k](Kg-1Hg)\\KHgk=[h]H/(HgKg-1)hgK

hold as disjoint unionsMathworldPlanetmath. In particular, the number of right and left cosets in HgK is respectively given by

#(H\\HgK)=[K:Kg-1Hg]
#(HgK/K)=[H:HgKg-1]

0.1 Remarks

  • The number of right and left cosets in a double coset does not coincide in general, not for double cosets of the form HgH.
