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…

A symmetric tensor is called copositive if it generates a multivariate form taking nonnegative values over the nonnegative orthant. Copositive tensors have found important applications in polynomial optimization and tensor complementarity…

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)…

We prove a criterion for the identifiability of symmetric tensors $P$ of type $3\times ...\times 3$, $d$ times, whose rank $k$ is bounded by $(d^2+2d)/8$. The criterion is based on the study of the Hilbert function of a set of points…

Inspired by recent work of Kopparty-Moshkovitz-Zuiddam and motivated by problems in combinatorics and hypergraphs, we introduce the notion of the symmetric geometric rank of a symmetric tensor. This quantity is equal to the codimension of…

It is known that a linear system with a system matrix A constitutes a Hamiltonian system with a quadratic Hamiltonian if and only if A is a Hamiltonian matrix. This provides a straightforward method to verify whether a linear system is…

We generalize the concept of the symmetric hyperdeterminants for symmetric tensors to the E-determinants for general tensors. We show that the E-determinant inherits many properties of the determinant of a matrix. These properties include:…

A symmetric tensor is a higher order generalization of a symmetric matrix. In this paper, we study various properties of symmetric tensors in relation to a decomposition into a sum of symmetric outer product of vectors. A rank-1 order-k…

In this work, we present a new characterization of symmetric $H^+$-tensors. It is known that a symmetric tensor is an $H^+$-tensor if and only if it is a generalized diagonally dominant tensor with nonnegative diagonal elements. By…

In this paper, we consider higher order paired symmetric tensors and strongly paired symmetric tensors. Elasticity tensors and higher order elasticity tensors in solid mechanics are strongly paired symmetric tensors. A (strongly) paired…

This paper studies symmetric tensor decompositions. For symmetric tensors, there exist linear relations of recursive patterns among their entries. Such a relation can be represented by a polynomial, which is called a generating polynomial.…

This paper demonstrates that third-order real symmetric tensors cannot be classified up to equivalence by their eigenvalues only, thereby resolving a problem posed by Qi in 2006. By applying Harrison's center theory, we derive equivalence…

Irreducible bilinear tensorial concomitants of an arbitrary complex antisymmetric valence-2 tensor are derived in four-dimensional spacetime. In addition these bilinear concomitants are symmetric (or antisymmetric), self-dual (or…

In this paper, it is proved that (strict) copositivity of a symmetric tensor $\mathcal{A}$ is equivalent to the fact that every principal sub-tensor of $\mathcal{A}$ has no a (non-positive) negative $H^{++}$-eigenvalue. The necessary and…

In this article, we mainly give the strictly copositive conditions of a special class of third order three dimensional symmetric tensors. More specifically, by means of the polynomial decomposition method, the analytic sufficient and…

We construct a lower bound of the tensor rank for a new class of tensors, which we call persistent tensors. We present three specific families of persistent tensors, of which the lower bound is tight. We show that there is a chain of…
