group action


Let G be a group and let X be a set. A left group actionMathworldPlanetmath is a function :G×XX such that:

  1. 1.

    1Gx=x for all xX

  2. 2.

    (g1g2)x=g1(g2x) for all g1,g2G and xX

A right group action is a function :X×GX such that:

  1. 1.

    x1G=x for all xX

  2. 2.

    x(g1g2)=(xg1)g2 for all g1,g2G and xX

There is a correspondence between left actions and right actions, given by associating the right action xg with the left action gx:=xg-1. In many (but not all) contexts, it is useful to identify right actions with their corresponding left actions, and speak only of left actions.

Special types of group actions

A left action is said to be effective, or faithful, if the function xgx is the identity function on X only when g=1G.

A left action is said to be transitiveMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath if, for every x1,x2X, there exists a group element gG such that gx1=x2.

A left action is free if, for every xX, the only element of G that stabilizes x is the identityPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath; that is, gx=x implies g=1G.

Faithful, transitive, and free right actions are defined similarly.
