Abstract: We develop a theory of multisymmetric functions along the lines of the theory of ordinary symmetric functions presented in [M]. We extend this theory to the multihomogeneous case (factorizable forms) in characteristic $0$. In addition, we present proofs of several results that appear in [J] without proof, as well as counterexamples to some claims made therein.
