[For the entire collection see Zbl 0745.00063.] The infinite spin-symmetric group \(T(\infty)\) is defined as the inductive limit of the sequence \(T(1) \subset T(2) \subset \cdots\) and is a central \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2\)-extension of the group \(S(\infty)\). In the present paper, we describe all the central positive definite indecomposable functions on the group \(T(\infty)\) which are nontrivial on its center \(\mathbb{Z}_ 2\) (Theorem 3.3). It turns out that any such function has the form \(\psi_ 1 \cdot \varphi\), where the function \(\varphi\) is trivial on the center, while \(\psi_ 1\) is the trace of the distinguished factor representation admitting a simple explicit realization. Let us point out that there is nothing resembling such a simple relationship between the irreducible characters of the finite groups \(S(n)\) and \(T(n)\). Also a description of the limiting behavior is given here for the irreducible characters of the group \(T(n)\) as \(n \to \infty\) (Theorem 3.5). This limit theorem provides another proof of the classification Theorem 3.3.
