what arguments did Abhinavagupta and dharmakirti make for the unreality of external objects?
Because only perception has the object as its object, there is nothing to know about it that cannot be revealed in perception, and this work, like his alambana-pariksha, argues that the object of cognition is nothing but its appearance in cognition: the object does not exist prior to cognition.
In the alambana-pariksha, dignaga proves that the object of cognition is nothing other than the appearance of the object in cognition itself. On the basis of this conclusion, he expounds the theory of self cognition in the pramanaamuccaya...
yad antar-janiya-rupam tu bahirvad avabhasate

Alas, I cannot translate it.
In effect, a refined form of parsimony, though he does of course argue with his detractors. In fact, cognition has no subject and object and all discourse is metaphorical, as all objects are just a momentary state in flux
