Categorical Approach to Orbit–Stabilizer Theorem

Let X be a G-Set. We could view it as a groupoid by take Ob(X^)=X,Mor(X^)=G. i.e. x⟼g⋅x as morphism.

Then we have

∐y∈XHom(x,y)=∐y∈G⋅xHom(x,y)

Now we have

∀y∈G⋅x,x≅y⟹Hom(x,y)≅Hom(x,x)=Gx

Thus

∐y∈G⋅xHom(x,y)≅∐y∈G⋅xHom(x,x)

The LHS is G and the RHS is ∐y∈G⋅xGx.

Hence we have

|G|=|G⋅x||Gx|
