Why is the kernel of $phi : Gmapsto S_m$ included in $Ble G$ where $phi(g)=g:xBmapsto gxB$?

$begingroup$


Let $G$ be a group with $B$ a subgroup of index $m$. There is a homomorphism that associates each element of $G$ to a permutation of the left cosets $xBin G/B$, which is of cardinality $m$.



So these permutations live in $S_m$.



Why is the kernel of that homomorphism included in $B$?



$$kerphi={gin G~:~gxB=xB text{ for all } xin G}=dotsb= bigcaplimits_{gin G}gBg^{-1}$$
I don't see why that is a subset of $B$...

          Because take $g=e$ and you will get that $B$ is one of the groups in the intersection. Hence $B$ contains the intersection.
