Maximum Waring ranks of monomials

Algebraic Geometry 2014-06-02 v3

Abstract

We show that monomials and sums of pairwise coprime monomials in four or more variables have Waring rank less than the generic rank, with a short list of exceptions. We asymptotically compare their ranks with the generic rank.
