Abstract: The relations of almost containedness and orthogonality in the lattice of groups of finitary permutations are studied in the paper. We define six cardinal numbers naturally corresponding to to these relations by the standard scheme of P(omega). We obtain some consistency results concerning these numbers and some versions of the Ramsey theorem.


Let \(\mathrm{SF}(\omega)\) denote the group of all finitary permutations of \(\omega\). The research of this paper is motivated by a result of \textit{P. Matet} [J. Symb. Log. 51, 12--21 (1986; Zbl 0588.04011)], which is associated with a lattice consisting of certain subgroups of \(\mathrm{SF}(\omega)\), modulo an ideal consisting of certain finite subgroups. This paper considers the lattice \((\mathrm{LF},\mathrm{IF})\) (under almost containedness and almost orthogonality), where \(\mathrm{LF}\) is the lattice of all subgroups of \(\mathrm{SF}(\omega)\) and \(\mathrm{IF}\) is the ideal of all finite subgroups. The author compares (in \S 2.1) this lattice with the classical analogous \(({\mathcal P}(\omega), \mathrm{Fin})\), computes the six van Douwen cardinals for this lattice (see Theorem 2.6), and further proves (in \S3) two variants of Matet's theorem for this lattice, one under MA and the other under CH.
