We investigate border ranks of twisted powers of polynomials and smoothability of symmetric powers of algebras. We prove that the latter are smoothable. For the former, we obtain upper bounds for the border rank in general and prove that…
Spatial symmetries and invariances play an important role in the behaviour of materials and should be respected in the description and modelling of material properties. The focus here is the class of physically symmetric and positive…
We initiate the systematic study of modular representations of symmetric groups that arise via the braiding in (symmetric) tensor categories over fields of positive characteristic. We determine what representations appear for certain…
A symmetric tensor is completely positive (CP) if it is a sum of tensor powers of nonnegative vectors. This paper characterizes completely positive binary tensors. We show that a binary tensor is completely positive if and only if it…
We introduce a new consistency-based approach for defining and solving nonnegative/positive matrix and tensor completion problems. The novelty of the framework is that instead of artificially making the problem well-posed in the form of an…
We provide simple criteria and algorithms for expressing homogeneous polynomials as sums of powers of independent linear forms, or equivalently, for decomposing symmetric tensors into sums of rank-1 symmetric tensors of linearly independent…
Square matrices represent linear self-maps of vector spaces, and their eigenpoints are the fixed points of the induced map on projective space. Likewise, polynomial self-maps of a projective space are represented by tensors. We study the…
New low-order $H(\textrm{div})$-conforming finite elements for symmetric tensors are constructed in arbitrary dimension. The space of shape functions is defined by enriching the symmetric quadratic polynomial space with the $(d+1)$-order…
We investigate the class of tempered stable distributions and their associated processes. Our analysis of tempered stable distributions includes limit distributions, parameter estimation and the study of their densities. Regarding tempered…
We lay the geometric foundations for the study of the characteristic polynomial of tensors. For symmetric tensors of order $d \geq 3$ and dimension $2$ and symmetric tensors of order $3$ and dimension $3$, we prove that only finitely many…
We define super-energy tensors for arbitrary physical fields, including the gravitational, electromagnetic and massless scalar fields. We also define super-super-energy tensors, and so on. All these tensors satisfy the so-called "Dominant…
The classification of all fourth-order anisotropic tensor classes for classical linear elasticity is well known. In this article, we review the related problem of explicitly computing the dimension and the expressions of the elements…
We establish two inequalities for the nuclear norm and the spectral norm of tensor products. The first inequality indicates that the nuclear norm of the square matrix is a matrix norm. We extend the concept of matrix norm to tensor norm. We…
In this note, we consider the highly nonconvex optimization problem associated with computing the rank decomposition of symmetric tensors. We formulate the invariance properties of the loss function and show that critical points detected by…
The tensor power method generalizes the matrix power method to higher order arrays, or tensors. Like in the matrix case, the fixed points of the tensor power method are the eigenvectors of the tensor. While every real symmetric matrix has…
We study projective schemes arising from eigenvectors of tensors, called eigenschemes. After some general results, we give a birational description of the variety parametrizing eigenschemes of general ternary symmetric tensors and we…
We introduce and study a class of entanglement criteria based on the idea of applying local contractions to an input multipartite state, and then computing the projective tensor norm of the output. More precisely, we apply to a mixed…
In this note one tries to venture into a study of some notions, in the context of a (unital) normed algebra, in particular the algebra of operators on a Hilbert space. Namely, one considers ``moving norms'', i.e.\ norming an element minus a…
Third-order tensors are widely used as a mathematical tool for modeling physical properties of media in solid state physics. In most cases, they arise as constitutive tensors of proportionality between basic physics quantities. The…
We prove that multilinear (tensor) analogues of many efficiently computable problems in numerical linear algebra are NP-hard. Our list here includes: determining the feasibility of a system of bilinear equations, deciding whether a 3-tensor…
