High-rank ternary forms of even degree

Abstract

We exhibit, for each even degree, a ternary form of rank strictly greater than the maximum rank of monomials. Together with an earlier result in the odd case, this gives the lower bound rmax(3,d)d2+2d+54\operatorname{r_{max}}(3,d)\ge\left\lfloor\frac{d^2+2d+5}4\right\rfloor for d2d\ge 2, where rmax(n,d)\operatorname{r_{max}}(n,d) denotes the maximum rank of degree dd forms in nn variables with coefficients in an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.
