Algebra, chapter I, § 5. Groups operating on a set

Let G be a group. An operation of G on a set E is called transitive if there exists an element x∈Ex \in E whose orbit is E. A G-set E is called homogeneous if the operation of G on E is transitive.

It is also said that G operates transitively on E; or that E is a homogeneous set under G. It amounts to the same to say that E is non-empty and that, for all elements xx and yy of E, there exists an element α∈G\alpha \in G such that α.x=y\alpha.x = y.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
