Let GG be a group with mm elements and let HH be a proper subgroup of GG with nn elements. For each xGx\in G we denote Hx={xhx1hH}H^x = \{ xhx^{-1} \mid h \in H \} and we suppose that HxH={e}H^x \cap H = \{e\}, for all xGHx\in G - H (where by ee we denoted the neutral element of the group GG). a) Prove that Hx=HyH^x=H^y if and only if x1yHx^{-1}y \in H; b) Find the number of elements of the set xGHx\bigcup_{x\in G} H^x as a function of mm and nn.
