RightCosetRepresentative

RightCosetRepresentative
returns the smallest element in the right coset of products of the elements of group by g.
  • The representative is chosen as the smallest element in the coset, as determined by the ordering given by Less.
Representative of a coset:
For an element in the group, the representative is the identity:

Compute the canonical representative of a right coset:
List all elements of the corresponding right coset:
The smallest element is the canonical representative:
The inverse of the canonical representative of a right coset belongs to the left coset but is not canonical in general. Take a permutation and a group:
This is the left coset of the inverse of that element:
The inverse of the canonical right coset representative belongs to the coset but is not the canonical representative:
