In group theory, a double coset is a concept associated with a group acting on itself in a specific way. More formally, if \( G \) is a group and \( H \) and \( K \) are two subgroups of \( G \), the double coset of \( H \) and \( K \) with respect to an element \( g \in G \) is denoted by \( HgK \).
