For each relative $\operatorname{GL}(V)$-invariant tensor $I\in \Lambda^{p_1+1}V^{\vee}\otimes .. \otimes \Lambda^{p_n+1}V^{\vee}$ we construct a $\operatorname{GL}(V)$-invariant weighted differential form $\eta$ on $(\mathbb{P} V)^{n}$.…

Grassmann tensors arise from classical problems of scene reconstruction in computer vision. In particular, bifocal Grassmann tensors, related to a pair of projections from a projective space onto view-spaces of varying dimensions,…
The article presents a survey of results in algebraic vision and multiview geometry. The starting points is the study of projective algebraic varieties critical for scene reconstruction. Initially studied for reconstructing static scenes in…
We study the following problem in computer vision from the perspective of algebraic geometry: Using $m$ pinhole cameras we take $m$ pictures of a line in $\mathbb P^3$. This produces $m$ lines in $\mathbb P^2$ and the question is which…
The fundamental matrix and trifocal tensor are convenient algebraic representations of the epipolar geometry of two and three view configurations, respectively. The estimation of these entities is central to most reconstruction algorithms,…
The space of n (ordered) points on the projective line, modulo automorphisms of the line, is one of the most important and classical examples of an invariant theory quotient, and is one of the first examples given in any course. Generators…
In this paper, we introduce the Grassmann tensor by tensor product of vectors and some basic terminology in tensor theory. Some basic properties of the Grassmann tensors are investigated and the tensor language is used to rewrite some…
The multiview variety of an arrangement of cameras is the Zariski closure of the images of world points in the cameras. The prime vanishing ideal of this complex projective variety is called the multiview ideal. We show that the bifocal and…
Motivated by Stillman's question, we show that the projective dimension of an ideal generated by four quadric forms in a polynomial ring is at most 6; moreover, this bound is tight. We achieve this bound, in part, by giving a…
We show that the eigenschemes of $4 \times 4 \times 4$ symmetric tensors are parametrized by a linear subvariety of the Grassmannian $\operatorname{Gr}(3,\mathbb{P}^{14})$. We also study the decomposition of the eigenscheme into the…
While every matrix admits a singular value decomposition, in which the terms are pairwise orthogonal in a strong sense, higher-order tensors typically do not admit such an orthogonal decomposition. Those that do have attracted attention…
We construct the quaternion algebra [10] "geometrically" by a three dimensional analogue of the classic two dimensional geometric description of the complex field. The algebraic description of the multiplication operation in three…
The main contribution of this paper is to find a representation of the class $\mathcal{F}_d(p)$ of multivariate Bernoulli distributions with the same mean $p$ that allows us to find its generators analytically in any dimension. We map…
The purpose of this paper is to propose the implementation of some methods from algebraic geometry in the theory of gravitation, and more especially in the variational formalism. It has been assumed that the metric tensor depends on two…
We study algebraic varieties associated with the camera resectioning problem. We characterize these resectioning varieties' multigraded vanishing ideals using Gr\"obner basis techniques. As an application, we derive and re-interpret…
This is the first paper in a series of eight where in the first three we develop a systematic approach to the geometric algebras of multivectors and extensors, followed by five papers where those algebraic concepts are used in a novel…
In this article we discuss the interaction between the geometry of a quaternion-Kahler manifold M and that of the Grassmannian G(3,g) of oriented 3-dimensional subspaces of a compact Lie algebra g. This interplay is described mainly through…
Various aspects of orbifolds and cosets of the small $\mathcal{N}=4$ superconformal algebra are studied. First, we determine minimal strong generators for generic and specific levels. As a corollary, we obtain the vertex algebra of global…
