Decompositions of higher-order tensors into sums of simple terms are ubiquitous. We show that in order to verify that two tensors are generated by the same (possibly scaled) terms it is not necessary to compute the individual…

In this paper, we study the symmetric rank of products of linear forms and an irreducible quadratic form. The main result presents a new, non-trivial lower bound for the rank, and the arguments rely on the apolarity lemma. In the special…

We analyze low rank tensor completion (TC) using noisy measurements of a subset of the tensor. Assuming a rank-$r$, order-$d$, $N \times N \times \cdots \times N$ tensor where $r=O(1)$, the best sampling complexity that was achieved is…

Though algebraic geometry over $\mathbb C$ is often used to describe the closure of the tensors of a given size and complex rank, this variety includes tensors of both smaller and larger rank. Here we focus on the $n\times n\times n$…

We introduce various notions of rank for a symmetric tensor, namely: rank, border rank, catalecticant rank, generalized rank, scheme length, border scheme length, extension rank and smoothable rank. We analyze the stratification induced by…

Tensor Network (TN) decompositions have emerged as an indispensable tool in Big Data analytics owing to their ability to provide compact low-rank representations, thus alleviating the ``Curse of Dimensionality'' inherent in handling…

We study the subrank of real order-three tensors and give an upper bound to the subrank of a real tensor given its complex subrank. Using similar arguments to those used by Bernardi-Blekherman-Ottaviani, we show that all subranks between…
