Let $f : X \to S$ be a family of smooth projective algebraic varieties over a smooth connected quasi-projective base $S$, and let $\mathbb{V} = R^{2k} f_{*} \mathbb{Z}(k)$ be the integral variation of Hodge structure coming from degree $2k$…

In a celebrated paper of 1893, Hadamard established the maximal determinant theorem, which establishes an upper bound on the determinant of a matrix with complex entries of norm at most $1$. His paper concludes with the suggestion that…

Let $\lambda =[d_1,\dots,d_r]$ be a partition of $d$. Consider the variety $\mathbb{X}_{2,\lambda} \subset \mathbb{P}^N$, $N={d+2 \choose 2}-1$, parameterizing forms $F\in k[x_0,x_1,x_2]_d$ which are the product of $r\geq 2$ forms…

The Theta rank of a finite point configuration $V$ is the maximal degree necessary for a sum-of-squares representation of a non-negative linear function on $V$. This is an important invariant for polynomial optimization that is in general…

We introduce subspace rank as a tool for studying ranks of tensors and X-rank more generally. We derive a new upper bound for the rank of a tensor and determine the ranks of partially symmetric tensors in C^2 \otimes C^b \otimes C^b. We…

We introduce a novel concept of rank for subsets of finite metric spaces E^n_q (the set of all n-dimensional vectors over an alphabet of size q) equipped with the Hamming distance, where the rank R(A) of a subset A is defined as the number…

A Vec-variety is a suitable functor from finite-dimensional vector spaces to finite-dimensional varieties. Most varieties in the geometry of tensors, e.g. the variety of d-way tensors of slice rank at most r, are of this form. We prove that…

We study the dimensions of Hadamard products of $k\ge 3$ varieties if we allow to modify $k-1$ of them by the action of a general projective linear transformation. We also prove that the join of a variety not contained in a coordinate…

For a smooth complex projective variety, the rank of the N\'eron-Severi group is bounded by the Hodge number h^{1,1}. Varieties with rk NS = h^{1,1} have interesting properties, but are rather sparse, particularly in dimension 2. We discuss…

For a given projective variety $X$, the high rank loci are the closures of the sets of points whose $X$-rank is higher than the generic one. We show examples of strict inclusion between two consecutive high rank loci. Our first example is…

We study projective completions of affine algebraic varieties which are given by filtrations, or equivalently, 'degree like functions' on their rings of regular functions. For a quasifinite polynomial map P (i.e. with all fibers finite) of…

Let n_d denote the degree d Veronese embedding of a projective space P^r. For any symmetric tensor P, the 'symmetric tensor rank' sr(P) is the minimal cardinality of a subset A of P^r, such that n_d(A) spans P. Let S(P) be the space of all…

We investigate in this paper the so-called pointed Shafarevich problem for families of primitive symplectic varieties. More precisely, for any fixed pointed curve $(B, 0)$ and any fixed primitive symplectic variety $X$, among all locally…

The Torsion Anomalous Conjecture states that an irreducible variety $V$ embedded in a semi-abelian variety contains only finitely many maximal $V$-torsion anomalous varieties. In this paper we consider an irreducible variety embedded in a…

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…

In this paper we proved that the sequence generated by the proximal point method, associated to a unconstrained optimization problem in the Riemannian context, has finite termination when the objective function has a weak sharp minima on…

We establish a finiteness result for pointed maps to the base space $U$ of a smooth projective family of varieties with maximal variation in moduli. For its proof, we establish the rigidity of pointed maps to a (not necessarily compact)…

We consider the problem of low canonical polyadic (CP) rank tensor completion. A completion is a tensor whose entries agree with the observed entries and its rank matches the given CP rank. We analyze the manifold structure corresponding to…

We introduce and study three different notions of tropical rank for symmetric and dissimilarity matrices in terms of minimal decompositions into rank 1 symmetric matrices, star tree matrices, and tree matrices. Our results provide a close…

We determine the number of ${\mathbb{F}}_q$-rational points of hyperplane sections of classical determinantal varieties defined by the vanishing of minors of a fixed size of a generic matrix, and identify sections giving the maximum number…
