# Studying the action of $GL(V)$ on the vector space $V$

The statement I am trying to prove is the following.

Let $k$ a field and $V$ a $k$-vector space of finite dimension. Let $\mathscr{B}$ be the set of ordered $k$-bases of $V$. The natural action of $GL(V)$ on $V$ induces an action on $\mathscr{B}$.

(a) Is this action transitive

Answer: I think I have managed to show that it is (unless I am terribly wrong).

(b) Describe the stabilizer of each element of $\mathscr{B}$.

Answer: I am finding the stabiliser to be trivial, but I think I might be making some mistake which I cannot identify. Maybe I am correct though.

(c) Show that this action induces a bijection of sets between $GL(V)$ and $\mathscr{B}$. Did you make any choice to construct such a bijection?

I don't have anything for the last one. If anyone would suggest a bijection, I could check myself that it is actually one.

Thank you all very much in advance for your time. Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

You are doing well for a and b. For c, do you know the orbit stablizer theorem? – user27126 Apr 19 '13 at 5:12
+1 for a well thought out question – Michael Joyce Apr 19 '13 at 5:13

Any time you have a group $G$ acting on a set $X$, if you pick a point $x \in X$, you get a bijection between the $G$-orbit of $x$ (often written as $G \cdot x$) and the set of left cosets of the stabilizer of $x$ (typically written as $G / G_x$).
Pick any ordered basis $B = \{v_1, \dots, v_n\} \in \mathscr{B}$. What does (a) tell you about the $GL(V)$-orbit of $B$? What does (b) tell you about the stabilizer of $B$?
