Lagrange's Theorem: Injectivity.

$begingroup$


Let $U$ be a subgroup of the finite group $G$ and $ain G$.



To show Lagrange's Theorem we defined a map $U rightarrow aU$, $umapsto au$ and said that it was bijective. Now for the injectivity we used the trivial case that for $au_1 = au_2Leftrightarrow u_1=u_2 $ but this uses that we add $a^-1$ from the left side in both cases.




Now my question is that of course there exists a $a^-1in G$ but don't we need to have $a^-1in aU$ to add it from the left? And if so, how can we show $a^-1in aU$?

Okay so essentially what you're trying to show is that if $au_1=au_2$ then $u_1=u_2$, and you seem to think that we are restricted completely to working within $aU$ to do this. But this isn't the case at all, in fact since $u_1$ and $u_2$ may not be in $aU$ (they are not in the case that $anotin U$), so it doesn't even make sense that we could show $u_1=u_2$ while working entirely within the set $aU$.



The point is that these equalities we are worried about are occurring within $G$, so it is valid to use any element of $G$ to show this claim.
