Left action of a group on permutation representation












3












$begingroup$


I am studying my course on permutation representation, and I am stuck at understanding the left action of a finite group on the permutation representation $F(X,Bbb C)$. In my course it is given for $(g,phi)in Gtimes F(X,Bbb C) $ by:



$g*phi(xin X)to phi(g^{-1}x)$.



Is this a left group action?



I have: $h*(g*phi(x))= h*phi(g^{-1}x)= phi(h^{-1}g^{-1}x) = phi((gh)^{-1}x)= (gh)*phi(x) neq (hg)*phi(x)$.



I must be missing something.

          $begingroup$

          Note that by the definition $g*phi$ is in $F(X,mathbb C)$ defined by $(g*phi)(x):= phi(g^{-1}x)$, so the calculation is the following:
          $$begin{align}
          (h*(g*phi))(x)&= (g*phi)(h^{-1}x)\
          &= phi(g^{-1}h^{-1}x)\
          &= phi((hg)^{-1}x)\
          &= (hg*phi)(x).
          end{align}$$

          Thus $h*(g*phi)= hg*phi$.

            In addition to the accepted answer I want to point out that one can also start by substituting the inner expression. Since $(g*phi)(x) := phi(g^{-1}x)$, we have $g*phi = x to phi(g^{-1}x)$, therefore



            $$begin{align}
            (h*(g*phi))(x)
            &= (h*(ttophi(g^{-1}t)))(x)\
            &= (ttophi(g^{-1}t))(h^{-1}x)\
            &= phi(g^{-1}(h^{-1}x))\
            &= (hg*phi)(x).
            end{align}$$
