We study tensor network varieties associated with the triangular graph, with a focus on the case where one of the physical dimensions is 2. This allows us to interpret the tensors as pencils of matrices. We provide a complete…

Classical tensors, the familiar mathematical objects denoted by symbols such as $t_{i}$, $t^{ij}$ and $t_{k}^{ij}$, are usually interpreted either as 'coordinatizable objects' with coordinates changing in a specific way under a change of…

By a tensor we mean a multidimensional array (matrix) or hypermatrix over a number field. This article aims to set an account of the studies on the permanent functions of tensors. We formulate the definitions of 1-permanent, 2-permanent,…
