Abstract: For a given combinatorial class mathcalC we study the class mathcalG=mathrmMSET(mathcalC) satisfying the multiset construction, that is, any object in mathcalG is uniquely determined by a set of mathcalC-objects paired with their multiplicities. For example, mathrmMSET(mathbbN) is (isomorphic to) the class of number partitions of positive integers, a prominent and well-studied case. The multiset construction appears naturally in the study of unlabelled objects, for example graphs or various structures related to number partitions. Our main result establishes the asymptotic size of the set mathcalGn,N that contains all multisets in mathcalG having size n and being comprised of N objects from mathcalC, as n emph{and} N tend to infinity and when the counting sequence of mathcalC is governed by subexponential growth; this is a particularly important setting in combinatorial applications. Moreover, we study the component distribution of random objects from mathcalGn,N and we discover a phenomenon that we baptise emph{extreme condensation}: taking away the largest component as well as all the components of the smallest possible size, we are left with an object which converges in distribution as n,Noinfty. The distribution of the limiting object is also retrieved. Moreover and rather surprisingly, in stark contrast to analogous results for labelled objects, the results here hold uniformly in N.
