Definition

Suppose $G$ is a group and $H=G^S$ is an unrestricted external direct product of $\left|S\right|$ copies of $G$. Equivalently, $H$ can be thought of as the group of functions from $S$ to $G$ with the group operations performed pointwise. Then, the diagonal subgroup is the subgroup comprising the constant functions from $S$ to $G$, or equivalently, the elements of $H$ with all coordinates equal.
