Abstract

A proof is given that the full symmetric group over any infinite set is the product of finitely many Abelian subgroups. In fact, 289 subgroups suffice. Sharp bounds are also obtained on the minimal number $k$ , such that the finite symmetric group $S_n$ is the product of $k$ Abelian subgroups. Using this, $S_n$ is proved to be the product of $72n^{1/2}(\log n)^{3/2}$ cyclic subgroups.
