Abstract: We study the category $mathcalA$ of smooth semilinear representations of the infinite symmetric group over the field of rational functions in infinitely many variables. We establish a number of results about the structure of $mathcalA$, e.g., classification of injective objects, finiteness of injective dimension, computation of the Grothendieck group, and so on. We also prove that $mathcalA$ is (essentially) equivalent to a simpler linear algebraic category $mathcalB$, which makes many properties of $mathcalA$ transparent.
