Abstract
We introduce and study a notion of dually Lorentzian polynomials, and show that if is non-zero and dually Lorentzian then the operator preserves (strictly) Lorentzian polynomials. From this we conclude that any theory that admits a mixed Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality also admits a generalized Alexandrov-Fenchel inequality involving dually Lorentzian polynomials. As such we deduce generalized Alexandrov-Fenchel inequalities for mixed discriminants, for integrals of K\"ahler classes, for mixed volumes, and in the theory of valuations.

Added extension to $C$-Lorentzian polynomials in section 7, allowing mild improvements of the applications
