Suppose
aHbH
Let xaHbH, then there exist h1,h2H
Such that,
x=ah1andx=bh2
a=xh11andb=xh21
a=bh2h11
aH=bh2h11H=bH
(since aH=HifaH)
Now, if abH, using above theorem
Since bbH, then aH=bHbaH
aHandaaHaaHbH
aHbH0
So aHbH=0
baH
Hence G be a group, H a subgroup of G, and a and b elements of G. If abH then baH.
