Given a group and a normal subgroup, the quotient map corresponding to that normal subgroup is the map from the group to the coset space (that is, the set of cosets) of this normal subgroup. Since the equivalence relation induced by being in the same coset of the normal subgroup is a congruence, the coset space can actually be equipped with a canonical group structure, and the quotient map then becomes a surjective group homomorphism. The coset space with this group structure is also termed the quotient group. Let be a group and be a normal subgroup. Consider the map which sends to the coset . This map is termed the quotient map. The equivalence relation induced by the cosets of a normal subgroup is a congruence, viz.: Thus, we can define a group structure on the coset space by setting (this is well-defined and independent of the choice of coset representatives precisely because of the above fact). Note that the quotient map is a surjective homomorphism whose kernel is the given n
