Abstract: Let

m a t h f r a k L_{1}

,

m a t h f r a k L_{2}

,

m a t h f r a k L_{3}

be finite collections of

L_{1}

,

L_{2}

,

L_{3}

, respectively, lines in

m a t h b b R^{3}

, and

J (m a t h f r a k L_{1}, m a t h f r a k L_{2}, m a t h f r a k L_{3})

the set of multijoints formed by them, i.e. the set of points

x i n m a t h b b R^{3}

, each of which lies in at least one line

l_{i} i n m a t h f r a k L_{i}

, for all

i = 1, 2, 3

, such that the directions of

l_{1}

,

l_{2}

and

l_{3}

span

m a t h b b R^{3}

. We prove here that

| J (m a t h f r a k L_{1}, m a t h f r a k L_{2}, m a t h f r a k L_{3}) | l e s s s i m (L_{1} L_{2} L_{3})^{1 / 2}

, and we extend our results to multijoints formed by real algebraic curves in

m a t h b b R^{3}

of uniformly bounded degree, as well as by curves in

m a t h b b R^{3}

parametrised by real univariate polynomials of uniformly bounded degree. The multijoints problem is a variant of the joints problem, as well as a discrete analogue of the endpoint multilinear Kakeya problem.
