a
For x∈X,
Orb(x)={gx:g∈G},Stab(x)={g∈G:gx=x}.
(1)
The stabilizer contains the identity; if g,h fix x, then
(gh−1)x=g(h−1x)=gx=x,
(2)
so it is a subgroup.
The orbit-stabilizer theorem states
∣G∣=∣Orb(x)∣∣Stab(x)∣​.
(3)
Define
G/Stab(x)⟶Orb(x),gStab(x)⟼gx.
(4)
The map is well defined and bijective: two elements give the same image exactly when they differ by an element of the stabilizer. Lagrange's theorem then proves the formula.
