Group action

Defintion

The orbits under these action are the Conjugacy classes.

The stabilizer is the Centralizer

The Orbit-stabilizer theorem for the conjugation action becomes the Class equation

Def. Let HGH \subset G Subgroup. For every $gGg \in G, we can define the Conjugate subgroup gHg1={ghg1hH}gHg^{-1} = \{ ghg^{-1}| h \in H\}.

The Stabilizer subgroup for the conjugation action is called the Normalizer subgroup
