Conjugacy class

From AoPSWiki

A conjugacy class is part of a group.

Let G be a group. Consider the action of G on itself by inner automorphisms. The orbits of G are then called conjugacy classes.

Two subsets H and H' of G are called conjugate if there exists \alpha \in G for which H is the image of H' under \text{Int}(\alpha).
