In this lecture, we will explore four important actions: groups acting on themselves by multiplication, on themselves by conjugation, on their subgroups by conjugation, and on their cosets by multiplication. For each of these, we will characterize the five fundamental features, and the consequence of our two orbit theorems. In some cases, this will even lead to new theorems, such as a one-line proof of Cayley's theorem, or formulas for the number of conjugacy classes of elements and subgroups. The content in this video is a great way to practice the theory that we've learned thus far in this chapter.
