The generalized Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz inequality conjecture for hypermatrices

Let m,n1m,n\geq1, let d=(d1,,dm){\bf d}=(d_1,\ldots,d_m), and let Md\mathcal{M}_{\bf d} be the space of complex hypermatrices of type d1××dmd_1\times\cdots\times d_m. For x(k),u(k)Mdx^{(k)},u^{(k)}\in\mathcal{M}_{\bf d}, define

Φd(n)(x(1),,x(n),u(1),,u(n))\Phi_{\bf d}^{(n)}(x^{(1)},\ldots,x^{(n)},u^{(1)},\ldots,u^{(n)})

by the generalized contraction formula given in the source. Cauchy–Bunyakovsky–Schwarz conjecture. The inequality

Φd(n)(x(1),,x(n),u(1),,u(n))0\Phi_{\bf d}^{(n)}(x^{(1)},\ldots,x^{(n)},u^{(1)},\ldots,u^{(n)})\geq0

is valid for all dimension vectors d{\bf d}, all m,n1m,n\geq1, and all complex hypermatrices x(k),u(k)Mdx^{(k)},u^{(k)}\in\mathcal{M}_{\bf d}.

For n=2n=2, this includes the hypermatrix inequality equivalent to the Generalized Distillability Conjecture. Its validity for all numbers of factors, dimensions, and summands is presented as an open strengthening.
