Group theory

Coset. If HGH \subset G is a Subgroup, then it defines an Equivalence relation, and its equivalence classes are called cosets (Left coset), denoted aHa H (for some element aGa \in G, like notation [a][a]).

ab modHa \equiv b ~ \text{mod}H if hH\exists h \in H s.t. a=bha=bh

All cosets are bijective, so they all have the same cardinality, and they all have the same cadinality as HH (because of the coset 1H=H1H = H).
