Strassen (Strassen, J. Reine Angew. Math., 375/376, 1987) introduced the subrank of a tensor as a natural extension of matrix rank to tensors. Subrank measures the largest diagonal tensor that can be obtained by applying linear operations…

In this paper we give a counterexample to the conjecture: Let $S\in{\rm SInn}$. Then $z\cdot S$ is onto $U$.

In this paper we discuss the notion of singular vector tuples of a complex valued $d$-mode tensor of dimension m_1 x ... x m_d. We show that a generic tensor has a finite number of singular vector tuples, viewed as points in the…

Problem 8.1 in Astaiza et. al. asks about the relationship between the cycle decomposition of a permutation $\sigma$ and that of its symmetric tensor power $\sigma ^{\odot k}$. In this paper, we investigate this question and give formulas…

The question if polynomially bounded operator is similar to a contraction was posed by Halmos and was answered in the negative by Pisier. His counterexample is an operator of infinite multiplicity, while all its restrictions on invariant…

We introduced a non-symmetric tensor product of any two states or any two representations of Cuntz-Krieger algebras associated with a certain non-cocommutative comultiplication in previous our work. In this paper, we show that a certain set…

In 1975 Stein conjectured that in every $n\times n$ array filled with the numbers $1, \dots, n$ with every number occuring exactly $n$ times, there is a partial transversal of size $n-1$. In this note we show that this conjecture is false…

We give a short proof that Strassen's asymptotic rank conjecture implies that for every $\varepsilon > 0$ there exists a $(3/2^{2/3} + \varepsilon)^n$-time algorithm for set cover on a universe of size $n$ with sets of bounded size. This…

In this paper we continue our study, begun in part I, of the exceptional set of integers, not restricted by elementary congruence conditions, which cannot be represented as sums of three or four squares of primes. We correct a serious…

This paper studies sum-of-squares (SOS) representations for structured biquadratic forms. We prove that diagonally dominated symmetric biquadratic tensors are always SOS. For the special case of symmetric biquadratic forms, we establish…

We show that for a large class of cubic polynomials $f$, every sufficiently large number can be written as a sum of seven positive values of $f$. As a special case, we show that every number greater than $e^{10^7}$ is a sum of seven…

An example due to Pisier shows that two commuting, completely polynomially bounded Hilbert space operators may not be simultaneously similar to contractions. Thus, while each operator is individually similar to a contraction, the pair is…
