We show that for several notions of rank including tensor rank, Waring rank, and generalized rank with respect to a projective variety, the maximum value of rank is at most twice the generic rank. We show that over the real numbers, the…

In many cases (e.g. for many Segre or Segre embeddings of multiprojective spaces) we prove that a hypersurface of the $b$-secant variety of $X\subset \mathbb {P}^r$ has $X$-rank $>b$. We prove it proving that the $X$-rank of a general point…

If an integer $n$ is written as a sum of two biquadrates in two different ways, then the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-nx$ has rank $\geq 3$. If moreover $n$ is odd and the parity conjecture is true, then it has even rank $\geq 4$. Finally, some…

We show that the algebraic boundaries of the regions of real binary forms with fixed typical rank are always unions of dual varieties to suitable coincident root loci.

This is a foundational paper in tropical linear algebra, which is linear algebra over the min-plus semiring. We introduce and compare three natural definitions of the rank of a matrix, called the Barvinok rank, the Kapranov rank and the…

First some old as well as new results about P.I. algebras, Ore extensions, and degrees are presented. Then quantized $n\times r$ matrices as well as quantized factor algebras of $M_q(n)$ are analyzed. The latter are the quantized function…

This paper establishes the basis of the quaternionic differential geometry ($\mathbbm H$DG) initiated in a previous article. The usual concepts of curves and surfaces are generalized to quaternionic constraints, as well as the curvature and…

We study the generic and typical ranks of 3-tensors of dimension l x m x n using results from matrices and algebraic geometry. We state a conjecture about the exact values of the generic rank of 3-tensors over the complex numbers, which is…

The tensor rank decomposition is a useful tool for the geometric interpretation of the tensors in the canonical tensor model (CTM) of quantum gravity. In order to understand the stability of this interpretation, it is important to be able…

In this paper, we revisit the problem of classifying real algebraic and semialgebraic sets by their topological types, focusing on establishing the effectiveness of bounds rather than deriving new quantitative estimates. Building on Hardt's…

The concept of tensor rank, introduced in the twenties, has been popularized at the beginning of the seventies. This has allowed to carry out Factor Analysis on arrays with more than two indices. The generic rank may be seen as an upper…

We prove a correspondence theorem for singular tropical surfaces in real three space, which recovers singular algebraic surfaces in an appropriate toric three-fold that tropicalize to a given singular tropical surface. Furthermore, we…

We show that if $K$ is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over $K$. In particular, we extend…

Smooth algebraic plane quartics over algebraically closed fields have 28 bitangent lines. Their tropical counterparts often have infinitely many bitangents. They are grouped into seven equivalence classes, one for each linear system…

We study the real algebraic variety of real symmetric matrices with eigenvalue multiplicities determined by a partition. We present formulas for the dimension and Euclidean distance degree. We give a parametrization by rational functions.…

We determine the tensor rank of all semifields of order 16 over $\mathbb{F}_2$ and of all semifields of order 81 over $\mathbb{F}_3$. Our results imply that some semifields of order 81 have lower multiplicative complexity than the finite…

This paper is devoted to the bounding and computation of the dimension of deformation spaces of tropical curves and hypersurfaces. This characteristic is interesting in light of the fact that it often coincides with the dimension of…

A real symmetric matrix $M$ is completely positive semidefinite if it admits a Gram representation by (Hermitian) positive semidefinite matrices of any size $d$. The smallest such $d$ is called the (complex) completely positive semidefinite…

We develop a notion of rank one properly convex domains (or Hilbert geometries) in the real projective space. This is in the spirit of rank one non-positively curved Riemannian manifolds and CAT(0) spaces. We define rank one isometries for…

This paper concerns a study of three families of non-compact type symmetric spaces of infinite dimension. Although they have infinite dimension they have finite rank. More precisely, we show they have finite telescopic dimension. We also…
