Theorem
Let $\struct {G, \circ}$ be a group whose identity is $e$.
The conjugacy action on $G$:
- $\forall g, h \in G: g * h = g \circ h \circ g^{-1}$
is a group action on itself.

Let $X$ be the set of all subgroups of $G$.
By definition, the (left) conjugacy action on subgroups is the group action $*_X : G \times X \to X$ defined as:
- $g *_X X = g \circ X \circ g^{-1}$
By Conjugacy Action on Subgroups is Group Action, the (left) conjugacy action on subgroups $*_X$ is a group action.
By Subset Product Action is Group Action, it follows that the conjugacy action $*: G \times G \to G$ such that:
