Integration, chapter VII, § 2. Quotient of a space by a group; homogeneous spaces

— Let FF be a fundamental domain. For every x∈Xx \in X,

∑s∈HφFs(x)=n(x). \sum_{s \in H} \varphi_{Fs}(x) = n(x).
(24)

Since φFs(xt)=φFst−1(x)\varphi_{Fs}(xt) = \varphi_{Fst^{-1}}(x) for all ss and tt in HH, the two members of (24) remain invariant when xx is replaced by xtxt. We can therefore suppose that x∈Fx \in F. We then have the equivalences

φFs(x)=1  ⟺  x∈Fs  ⟺  xs−1∈F  ⟺  xs−1=x  ⟺  s∈Hx, \varphi_{Fs}(x) = 1 \iff x \in Fs \iff xs^{-1} \in F \iff xs^{-1} = x \iff s \in H_x,
whence (24).

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