Abstract: Let

f_{1}, l d o t s, f_{k} : m a t h b b N i g h t a r r o w m a t h b b C

be multiplicative functions taking values in the closed unit disc. Using an analytic approach in the spirit of Hal'{a}sz' mean value theorem, we compute multidimensional averages of the shape

x^{-l} sum_{mathbf{n} in [x]^l} prod_{1 leq j leq k} f_j(L_j(mathbf{n}))

as

x i g h t a r r o w i n f t y

, where

[x] := [1, x]

and

L_{1}, l d o t s, L_{k}

are affine linear forms that satisfy some natural conditions. Our approach gives a new proof of a result of Frantzikinakis and Host that is distinct from theirs, with emph{explicit} main and error terms. \ As an application of our formulae, we establish a emph{local-to-global} principle for Gowers norms of multiplicative functions. We also compute the asymptotic densities of the sets of integers

n

such that a given multiplicative function

f : m a t h b b N i g h t a r r o w - 1, 1

yields a fixed sign pattern of length 3 or 4 on almost all 3- and 4-term arithmetic progressions, respectively, with first term

n
