For X ≠ ∅, an action of G on X is transitive if and only if, given x and y in X, there is some g ∈ G such that y = gx.

For X ≠ ∅, an action of G on X is transitive if and only if, given x and y in X, there is some g ∈ G such that y = gx.

Solutions

Expert Solution

Proof: Suppose the action is transitive, so there is one orbit. Given x in X, its orbit must

fill up X, so every element of X has the form gx for some g ∈ G.

Conversely, suppose that for each x and y in X we can write y = gx for some g ∈ G. Fix

x ∈ X. Since every y ∈ X has the form gx for some g, every y is in the orbit of x. Thus X has only one orbit.
