We exhibit, for each even degree, a ternary form of rank strictly greater than the maximum rank of monomials. Together with an earlier result in the odd case, this gives the lower bound…
The main contribution of this note is to establish a framework to extend results of tensor functions over specific field to general field. As a consequence of this framework, we extend the existing work to more general settings: \emph{(1)}…
We show that finding rank-$R$ decompositions of a 3D tensor, for $R\le 4$, over a fixed finite field can be done in polynomial time. However, if some cells in the tensor are allowed to have arbitrary values, then rank-2 is NP-hard over the…
In this work we study different notions of ranks and approximation of tensors. We consider the tensor rank, the nuclear rank and we introduce the notion of symmetric decomposable rank, a notion of rank defined only on symmetric tensors. We…
The results of Strassen and Raz show that good enough tensor rank lower bounds have implications for algebraic circuit/formula lower bounds. We explore tensor rank lower and upper bounds, focusing on explicit tensors. For odd d, we…
Graded posets frequently arise throughout combinatorics, where it is natural to try to count the number of elements of a fixed rank. These counting problems are often $\#\textbf{P}$-complete, so we consider approximation algorithms for…
There are several equivalent characterizations of the valuation rank of an ordered or valued field. In this paper, we extend the theory to the case of an ordered or valued {\it difference} field (that is, ordered or valued field endowed…
The Dyson rank of an integer partition is the difference between its largest part and the number of parts it contains. Using Fine-Dyson symmetry, we give formulas for the number of partitions of n with rank larger than n/2, and we prove…
We utilize Dyson's concept of the adjoint of a partition to derive an infinite family of new polynomial analogues of Euler's Pentagonal Number Theorem. We streamline Dyson's bijection relating partitions with crank <= k and those with k in…
We show that the slice rank of the direct sum of two tensors is equal to the sum of their slice ranks. The upper bound is trivial, but the lower bound needs more than a one-line proof, for reasons we explain. This result generalizes the…
We revisit Schmidt's theorem connecting the Schmidt rank of a tensor with the codimension of a certain variety and adapt the proof to the case of arbitrary characteristic. We also find a sharper result of this kind for homogeneous…
The subrank of tensors is a measure of how much a tensor can be ''diagonalized''. This parameter was introduced by Strassen to study fast matrix multiplication algorithms in algebraic complexity theory and is closely related to many central…
We show that the algebraic rank of divisors on certain graphs is related to the realizability problem of matroids. As a consequence, we produce a series of examples in which the algebraic rank depends on the ground field. We use the theory…
This article contains a complete proof of Gabrielov's rank Theorem, a fundamental result in the study of analytic map germs. Inspired by the works of Gabrielov and Tougeron, we develop formal-geometric techniques which clarify the difficult…
We propose a new sufficient condition for verifying whether generic rank-r complex tensors of arbitrary order admit a unique decomposition as a linear combination of rank-1 tensors. A practical algorithm is proposed for verifying this…
We introduce an elementary method to study the border rank of polynomials and tensors, analogous to the apolarity lemma. This can be used to describe the border rank of all cases uniformly, including those very special ones that resisted a…
Ramanujan's congruence $p(5k+4) \equiv 0 \pmod 5$ led Dyson \cite{dyson} to conjecture the existence of a measure "rank" such that $p(5k+4)$ partitions of $5k+4$ could be divided into sub-classes with equal cardinality to give a direct…
Motivated by problems in algebraic complexity theory (e.g., matrix multiplication) and extremal combinatorics (e.g., the cap set problem and the sunflower problem), we introduce the geometric rank as a new tool in the study of tensors and…
We study the rank one completion problem for tensors of arbitrary orders. The notion of rank one determinable tensors is introduced. We explore its properties and propose a recursive algorithm for computing rank one tensor completion. This…
Let $d \ge 2$ be a positive integer. We show that for a class of notions $R$ of rank for order-$d$ tensors, which includes in particular the tensor rank, the slice rank and the partition rank, there exist functions $F_{d,R}$ and $G_{d,R}$…
