Abstract

To our knowledge at the time of writing, the maximum Waring rank for the set of all ternary forms of degree dd (with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero) is known only for d4d\le 4. The best upper bound that is known for d=5d=5 is twelve, and in this work we lower it to ten.
