For every x∈Xx\in X, the group N acts faithfully and transitively on the fibre p−1(x)\overset{-1}{p}(x).

Since pp is surjective, the fibre p−1(x)\overset{-1}{p}(x) is not empty. Let y,y′∈y, y'\in p−1(x)\overset{-1}{p}(x); let us prove that there exists a unique element n∈n\in N such that n⋅y=y′n\cdot y=y'. Let g,h∈g, h\in F and let u,v∈u, v\in M be such that y=π(g,u)y=\pi (g, u) and y′=π(h,v)y'=\pi (h, v). Put s=φ(g−1h)s=\varphi (g^{-1}h). Since x=φ(g)⋅u=φ(h)⋅vx=\varphi (g)\cdot u=\varphi (h)\cdot v, we have u=s⋅vu=s\cdot v, whence s∈Ss\in S. It follows that φ(h)=φ(gxs)\varphi (h) =\varphi (gx_s), so that there exists n∈Nn\in N such that h=ngxsh=ngx_s. Then,

y′=π(h,v)=π(ngxs,v)=n⋅π(gxs,v)=n⋅π(g,s⋅v)=n⋅y y'=\pi (h, v) =\pi (ngx_s, v) =n\cdot \pi (gx_s, v) =n\cdot \pi (g, s\cdot v) =n\cdot y

Let n′n' be an element of N such that n′⋅y=y′n'\cdot y=y'. We have n′⋅π(g,u)=n⋅π(g,u)n'\cdot \pi (g, u) =n\cdot \pi (g, u), whence π(n′g,u)=π(ng,u)\pi (n'g, u) =\pi (ng, u). Consequently, there exists t∈St\in S such that n′g=n'g= ngxtngx_t; this relation implies that φ(xt)=e\varphi (x_t) =e, whence t=et=e and n=n′n=n'.

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
