  • It has only been mentioned as o(H). I was trying to approach with index proportion. But it has also not clearly been given whether G is of finite order or not. That's why I'm stuck & can't find any other alternative way.

    Yeah o(H) is nothing but the number of distinct elements in H.

Hint: Let $g in G$ and show that $gHg^-1 = ghg^-1 ,:,h in H$ is a subgroup of $G$. What is its order?

  • It's order is equal to o(H)

    Aug 26 at 4:33










  • Yes, and what does that tell you about how $H$ is related to $gHg^-1$?
    – matt stokes
    Aug 26 at 4:34










  • Since there is no other subgroup of G containing o(H) elements, it is a must that gHg^(-1)=H. Hence proved. Ohh! got it..thank you:)

A little bit detailed version of the previous answer:



Let any $g in G$. We know $ g in G:ghg^-1=K_g$ forms a subgroup of G.



[



Proof: $geg^-1=e in K_g$ ,i.e $K_g$ is non empty. Now, $[gh_1g^-1][gh_2g^-1]^-1=gh_1h_2^-1g^-1=gh_3g^-1 in K_g$ which implies that it is indeed a subgroup of G



]



To prove that $o(H)=o(K_g)$, we take arbitrary elements in $K_g$. Now $gh_ig^-1=gh_jg^-1 implies h_i=h_j$. Hence, we can see, that for each element $g in G$, we have $K_g= H$ [ As $o(H)$ is unique] hence, $gHg^-1=H, forall g in G$, which implies the normality of the subgroup $H$.
