Waring decompositions of monomials

Algebraic Geometry 2013-02-01 v3

Abstract

A Waring decomposition of a polynomial is an expression of the polynomial as a sum of powers of linear forms, where the number of summands is minimal possible. We prove that any Waring decomposition of a monomial is obtained from a complete intersection ideal, determine the dimension of the set of Waring decompositions, and give the conditions under which the Waring decomposition is unique up to scaling the variables.
