In this paper, we extend some classes of structured matrices to higher order tensors. We discuss their relationships with positive semi-definite tensors and some other structured tensors. We show that every principal sub-tensor of such a…
The Rank Minimization Problem asks to find a matrix of lowest rank inside a linear variety of the space of n x n matrices. The Low Rank Matrix Completion problem asks to complete a partially filled matrix such that the resulting matrix has…
Let $k$ be a commutative $\mathbb{Q}$-algebra. We study families of functors between categories of finitely generated $R$-modules which are defined for all commutative $k$-algebras $R$ simultaneously and are compatible with base changes.…
We prove that the slice rank of a 3-tensor (a combinatorial notion introduced by Tao in the context of the cap-set problem), the analytic rank (a Fourier-theoretic notion introduced by Gowers and Wolf), and the geometric rank (an…
We address the problem of the additivity of the tensor rank. That is for two independent tensors we study if the rank of their direct sum is equal to the sum of their individual ranks. A positive answer to this problem was previously known…
Given a tract $F$ in the sense of Baker and Bowler and a matrix $A$ with entries in $F$, we define several notions of rank for $A$. In this way, we are able to unify and find conceptually satisfying proofs for various results about ranks of…
Reiner, Shaw and van Willigenburg showed that if two skew Schur functions s_A and s_B are equal, then the skew shapes A and B must have the same "row overlap partitions." Here we show that these row overlap equalities are also implied by a…
A symmetric tensor may be regarded as a partially symmetric tensor in several different ways. These produce different notions of rank for the symmetric tensor which are related by chains of inequalities. By exploiting algebraic tools such…
Closed formulas for the multilinear rank of trifocal Grassmann tensors are obtained. An alternative process to the standard HOSVD is introduced for the computation of the core of trifocal Grassmann tensors. Both of these results are…
We give sufficient conditions on a symmetric tensor S in S^dF^n to satisfy the equality: the symmetric rank of S, denoted as srank(S), is equal to the rank of S, denoted as rank(S). This is done by considering the rank of the unfolded S…
We use a double-duality argument to give a new proof of Dieudonn\'e's theorem on spaces of singular matrices. The argument connects the situation to the structure of spaces of operators with rank at most $1$, and works best over…
Comon's conjecture on the equality of the rank and the symmetric rank of a symmetric tensor, and Strassen's conjecture on the additivity of the rank of tensors are two of the most challenging and guiding problems in the area of tensor…
There are close relations between tripartite tensors with bounded geometric ranks and linear determinantal varieties with bounded codimensions. We study linear determinantal varieties with bounded codimensions, and prove upper bounds of the…
In problems involving approximation, completion, denoising, dimension reduction, estimation, interpolation, modeling, order reduction, regression, etc, we argue that the near-universal practice of assuming that a function, matrix, or tensor…
In a 1918 paper Schur proved a remarkable inequality that related group representations, Hermitian forms and determinants. He also gave concise necessary and sufficient conditions for equality. In 1964, Marcus gave a beautiful short proof…
Tensor type data are becoming important recently in various application fields. We determine a rank of a tensor T so that A+T is diagonalizable for a given 3-tensor A with 2 slices over the complex and real number field.
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…
We show that some matrices are Schur multipliers and this is applied to obtain classes of operator-valued Foguel-Hankel operators similar to contractions. This provides partial answers to a problem of K. Davidson and the second author…
The theory of Schur functors provides a powerful and elegant approach to the representation theory of GL_n - at least to the so-called polynomial representations - especially to questions about how the theory varies with n. We develop…
Two left noetherian rings $R$ and $S$ are said to be {\it singularly equivalent} if their singularity categories are equivalent as triangulated categories. The aim of this paper is to give a necessary condition for two commutative…
