we characterize strictly diagonal type of embeddings offinitary symmetric groups in terms of cardinality and the characteristic. namely, we prove thefollowing.let $kappa$ be an infinite cardinal. if$g=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup} g_i,$ where $ g_i=fsym(kappa n_i)$,$(h=underset{i=1}{stackrel{infty}bigcup}h_i, $ where $ h_i=alt(kappa n_i) ), $ is a group of strictly diagonal type and$xi=(...

In recent work, Bacher and de la Harpe define and study conjugacy growth series for finitary permutation groups. In two subsequent papers, Cotron, Dicks, and Fleming study the congruence properties of some of these series. We define a new family of conjugacy growth series for the finitary alternating wreath product that are related to sums of modular forms of integer and half-integral weights, ...

We consider RG-moduli A, in which R=Z, and group G is a finite-finitary with some constraints.

It is observed that the conjugacy growth series of the infinite finitary symmetric group with respect to the generating set of transpositions is the generating series of the partition function. Other conjugacy growth series are computed, for other generating sets, for restricted permutational wreath products of finite groups by the finitary symmetric group, and for alternating groups.
