Definition

Let $\struct {G, \circ}$ be a group which acts on a set $X$.

The properties that define the group action $*: G \times X \to X$ are summarised as:

\((\text {GA} 1)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall g, h \in G, x \in X:\) \(\ds g * \paren {h * x} = \paren {g \circ h} * x \)      
\((\text {GA} 2)\)   $:$     \(\ds \forall x \in X:\) \(\ds e * x = x \)      


These properties can be referred to as the group action axioms.
