Theorem
Let $\struct {S, \circ}$ be a monoid whose identity element is $e$.
Let $\struct {H, \circ}$ be a subgroup of $\struct {S, \circ}$.
Then:
- the set of left cosets of $\struct {H, \circ}$ in $\struct {S, \circ}$ form a partition of $S$
- and:
- the set of right cosets of $\struct {H, \circ}$ in $\struct {S, \circ}$ form a partition of $S$
- such that the equivalence relations induced by those partitions are congruence relations for $\circ$
- $\struct {H, \circ}$ is a normal subgroup of $\struct {S, \circ}$.
Proof
Necessary Condition
Let $\struct {H, \circ}$ be a normal subgroup of $\struct {S, \circ}$.
Then by definition:
- $e \in H$
Hence from Condition for Cosets of Subgroup of Monoid to be Partition, the set of left cosets and the set of right cosets of $\struct {H, \circ}$ in $\struct {S, \circ}$ form a partition of $S$.
