Non-transversal multilinear duality and joints (Q2692514)

Summary: We develop a framework for a duality theory for general multilinear operators which extends that for transversal multilinear operators which has been established by \textit{A. Carbery} et al. [``Multilinear duality and factorisation for Brascamp-Lieb-type inequalities'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1809.02449}]. We apply it to the setting of joints and multijoints, and obtain a ``factorisation'' theorem which provides an analogue in the discrete setting of results of \textit{J. Bourgain} and \textit{L. Guth} [Geom. Funct. Anal. 21, No. 6, 1239--1295 (2011; Zbl 1237.42010)] from the Euclidean setting.
