The ring of multisymmetric functions
[L'anneau des fonctions multisymétriques]
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 55 (2005) no. 3, pp. 717-731

We give a presentation (in terms of generators and relations) of the ring of multisymmetric functions that holds for any commutative ring R, thereby answering a classical question coming from works of F. Junker [J1, J2, J3] in the late nineteen century and then implicitly in H. Weyl book “The classical groups” [W].

Si R est un anneau commutatif, on présente par générateurs et relations, l’algèbre des fonctions multisymétriques à coefficients dans R, de façon à répondre à une question classique liée aux travaux de F. Junker [J1, J2, J3] et implicitement à ceux de H. Weyl [W].
