We provide simple criteria and algorithms for expressing homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers of independent linear forms, or equivalently, for decomposing symmetric tensors into sums of rank-1 symmetric tensors of linearly independent…
We define the isomorphism classes of torus-equivariant rank 2 arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay (aCM) vector bundles on the Veronese surface, up to a twist by the hyperplane class, and count them. Our approach makes use of Klyachko's…
Motivated by problems in algebraic complexity theory (e.g., matrix multiplication) and extremal combinatorics (e.g., the cap set problem and the sunflower problem), we introduce the geometric rank as a new tool in the study of tensors and…
We introduce the concise secant varieties, which are, informally speaking, modular partial desingularisations of secant varieties to Segre embeddings. More precisely, they are projective and birational to the abstract secant varieties, yet…
Conjugate partial-symmetric (CPS) tensors are the high-order generalization of Hermitian matrices. As the role played by Hermitian matrices in matrix theory and quadratic optimization, CPS tensors have shown growing interest recently in…
There has been continued interest in seeking a theorem describing optimal low-rank approximations to tensors of order 3 or higher, that parallels the Eckart-Young theorem for matrices. In this paper, we argue that the naive approach to this…
In this paper we suggest a new algorithm for the computation of a best rank one approximation of tensors, called alternating singular value decomposition. This method is based on the computation of maximal singular values and the…
For odd n, I write down tensors in C^n\otimes C^n\otimes C^n of border rank 2n-1, showing the non-triviality of the Young-flattening equations of Landsberg-Ottaviani. I also study the border rank of the tensors of Alexeev et. al., showing…
We proceed to derive equations for the symmetric tensor of the second rank on the basis of the Bargmann-Wigner formalism in a straightforward way. The symmetric multispinor of the fourth rank is used. It is constructed out of the Dirac…
A computationally challenging classical elimination theory problem is to compute polynomials which vanish on the set of tensors of a given rank. By moving away from computing polynomials via elimination theory to computing pseudowitness…
There are many notions of rank in multilinear algebra: tensor rank, partition rank, slice rank, and strength (or Schmidt rank) are a few examples. Typically the rank $\le r$ locus is not Zariski closed, and understanding the closure (the…
A short review of Algebraic Geometry tools for the decomposition of tensors and polynomials is given from the point of view of applications to quantum and atomic physics. Examples of application to assemblies of indistinguishable two-level…
We outline an algorithm for construction of functional bases of absolute invariants under the rotation group for sets of rank 2 tensors and vectors in the Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension. We will use our earlier results for symmetric…
We give an upper bound for the cactus rank of any multi-homogeneous polynomial.
We study $SU(n)$ symmetry breaking by rank three and rank two antisymmetric tensor fields. Using tensor analysis, we derive branching rules for the adjoint and antisymmetric tensor representations, and explain why for general $SU(n)$ one…
We develop a systematic way to solve linear equations involving tensors of arbitrary rank. We start off with the case of a rank $3$ tensor, which appears in many applications, and after finding the condition for a unique solution we derive…
We give a partial "quasi-stratification" of the secant varieties of the order $d$ Veronese variety $X_{m,d}$ of $\mathbb {P}^m$. It covers the set $\sigma_t(X_{m,d})^{\dagger}$ of all points lying on the linear span of curvilinear…
We present a family of flattening methods of tensors which we call Kronecker-Koszul flattenings, generalizing the famous Koszul flattenings and further equations of secant varieties studied among others by Landsberg, Manivel, Ottaviani and…
In this note, we consider the highly nonconvex optimization problem associated with computing the rank decomposition of symmetric tensors. We formulate the invariance properties of the loss function and show that critical points detected by…
The space of continuous, ${\rm SL}(m,C)$-equivariant, $m\geq 2$, and translation covariant valuations taking values in the space of real symmetric tensors on $C^m\cong R^{2m}$ of rank $r\geq 0$ is completely described. The classification…
