In this work we give the classification of real ternary cubic forms with respect to rank and border rank up to SL(3)-action and we examine the differences with the complex case.

We obtain, by a direct computation, explicit descriptions of all principally polarized semi-abelic varieties of torus rank up to 3. We describe the geometry of their symmetric theta divisors and obtain explicit formulas for the involution…

We lower bound the rank of a tensor by a linear combination of the ranks of three of its unfoldings, using Sylvester's rank inequality. In a similar way, we lower bound the symmetric rank by a linear combination of the symmetric ranks of…

Conjugation spaces are topological spaces equipped with an involution such that their fixed points have the same mod $2$ cohomology (as a graded vector space, a ring, and even an unstable algebra) but with all degrees divided by two,…

Motivated by questions arising in signal processing, computational complexity, and other areas, we study the ranks and border ranks of symmetric tensors using geometric methods. We provide improved lower bounds for the rank of a symmetric…

Extending the `metric spaces' of Lawvere, we study `real metrics', with values in the extended real line. Formally, this ordered set is a symmetric monoidal closed category, and our structures are enriched categories on the latter.…

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…

Fix integers $m \ge 2$, $s\ge 5$ and $d\ge 2s+2$. Here we describe the possible symmetric tensor ranks $\le 2d+s-7$ of all symmetric tensors (or homogeneous degree $d$ polynomials) in $m+1$ variables with border rank $s$.

Secant varieties are among the main protagonists in tensor decomposition, whose study involves both pure and applied mathematical areas. Grassmannians are the building blocks for skewsymmetric tensors. Although they are ubiquitous in the…

We consider varieties generated by finite closure algebras whose canonical relations have two levels, and whose restriction to a level is an "extremal" relation, i.e. the identity or the universal relation. The corresponding logics have…

Algebraic statistics for binary random variables is concerned with highly structured algebraic varieties in the space of 2x2x...x2-tensors. We demonstrate the advantages of representing such varieties in the coordinate system of binary…

Let $X$ be a compact Riemann surface. A quadratic pair on $X$ consists of a holomorphic vector bundle with a quadratic form which takes values in fixed line bundle. We show that the moduli spaces of quadratic pairs of rank 2 are connected…

This paper consists of a description of the variety of two dimensional associative algebras within the framework of Nonstandard Analysis. By decomposing each algebra in A^2 as sum of a Jordan algebra and a Lie algebra, we calculate the…

Given a geometrically irreducible smooth projective curve of genus 1 defined over the field of real numbers, and a pair of integers r and d, we determine the isomorphism class of the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank r and…

In this paper, we have considered the dense rank for assigning positions to alternatives in weak orders. If we arrange the alternatives in tiers (i.e., indifference classes), the dense rank assigns position 1 to all the alternatives in the…

A rank is a notion in descriptive set theory that describes ranks such as the Cantor-Bendixson rank on the set of closed subsets of a Polish space, differentiability ranks on the set of differentiable functions in $C[0,1]$ such as the…

Using the algebraic classification of all $2$-dimensional algebras, we give the algebraic classification of all $2$-dimensional rigid, conservative and terminal algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We have the…

Let $\sigma_b(X_{m,d}(\mathbb {C}))(\mathbb {R})$, $b(m+1) < \binom{m+d}{m}$, denote the set of all degree $d$ real homogeneous polynomials in $m+1$ variables (i.e. real symmetric tensors of format $(m+1)\times ... \times (m+1)$, $d$ times)…

Tensors, or multi-linear forms, are important objects in a variety of areas from analytics, to combinatorics, to computational complexity theory. Notions of tensor rank aim to quantify the "complexity" of these forms, and are thus also…

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…
