Abstract: Let $mathfrak{L}_1$, $mathfrak{L}_2$, $mathfrak{L}_3$ be finite collections of $L_1$, $L_2$, $L_3$, respectively, lines in $mathbb{R}^3$, and $J(mathfrak{L}_1,mathfrak{L}_2,mathfrak{L}_3)$ the set of multijoints formed by them, i.e. the set of points $xinmathbb{R}^3$, each of which lies in at least one line $l_{i}inmathfrak{L}_i$, for all $i=1,2,3$, such that the directions of $l_1$, $l_2$ and $l_3$ span $mathbb{R}^3$. We prove here that $|J(mathfrak{L}_1,mathfrak{L}_2,mathfrak{L}_3)|lesssim(L_1{L}_2{L}_3{)}^{1/2}$, and we extend our results to multijoints formed by real algebraic curves in $mathbb{R}^3$ of uniformly bounded degree, as well as by curves in $mathbb{R}^3$ 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.
