The rank of the matrix multiplication operator for nxn matrices is one of the most studied quantities in algebraic complexity theory. I prove that the rank is at least n^2-o(n^2). More precisely, for any integer p\leq n -1, the rank is at…

We develop a notion of {\em inner rank} as a tool for obtaining lower bounds on the rank of matrix multiplication tensors. We use it to give a short proof that the border rank (and therefore rank) of the tensor associated with $n\times n$…

For every $p\leq n$ positive integer we obtain the lower bound $(3-\frac{1}{p+1})n^2-\big(2\binom{2p}{p+1}-\binom{2p-2}{p-1}+2\big)n$ for the rank of the $n\times n$ matrix multiplication. This bound improves the previous one…

We establish basic information about border rank algorithms for the matrix multiplication tensor and other tensors with symmetry. We prove that border rank algorithms for tensors with symmetry (such as matrix multiplication and the…

Let M_n denote the matrix multiplication tensor for nxn matrices. We use the border substitution method combined with Koszul flattenings to prove the border rank lower bound of 2n^2-log(n)-1 for M_n.

We make an in-depth study of the known border rank (i.e. approximate) algorithms for the matrix multiplication tensor encoding the multiplication of an n x 2 matrix by a 2 x 2 matrix.

I show that 2x2 matrices cannot be approximately multiplied using less than seven multiplications. In other words I show that the matrix multiplication operator is not in the sixth secant variety of the Segre produt of three $P^3$'s.

We present new methods for determining polynomials in the ideal of the variety of bilinear maps of border rank at most r. We apply these methods to several cases including the case r = 6 in the space of bilinear maps C^4 x C^4 -> C^4. This…

We show that the border support rank of the tensor corresponding to two-by-two matrix multiplication is seven over the complex numbers. We do this by constructing two polynomials that vanish on all complex tensors with format…

Let $M_{\langle u,v,w\rangle}\in C^{uv}\otimes C^{vw}\otimes C^{wu}$ denote the matrix multiplication tensor (and write $M_n=M_{\langle n,n,n\rangle}$) and let $det_3\in ( C^9)^{\otimes 3}$ denote the determinant polynomial considered as a…

We show that lower bounds on the border rank of matrix multiplication can be used to non-trivially derandomize polynomial identity testing for small algebraic circuits. Letting $\underline{R}(n)$ denote the border rank of $n \times n \times…

We prove lower bounds of order $n\log n$ for both the problem to multiply polynomials of degree $n$, and to divide polynomials with remainder, in the model of bounded coefficient arithmetic circuits over the complex numbers. These lower…

An important building block in all current asymptotically fast algorithms for matrix multiplication are tensors with low border rank, that is, tensors whose border rank is equal or very close to their size. To find new asymptotically fast…

We study the complexity of multiplication in noncommutative group algebras which is closely related to the complexity of matrix multiplication. We characterize such semisimple group algebras of the minimal bilinear complexity and show…

We develop an automated framework for proving lower bounds on the bilinear complexity of matrix multiplication over finite fields. Our approach systematically combines orbit classification of the restricted first matrix and dynamic…

We prove lower bounds on the number of product gates in bilinear and quadratic circuits that compute the product of two $n \cross n$ matrices over finite fields. In particular we obtain the following results: 1. We show that the number of…

The complexity of matrix multiplication is measured in terms of $\omega$, the smallest real number such that two $n\times n$ matrices can be multiplied using $O(n^{\omega+\epsilon})$ field operations for all $\epsilon>0$; the best bound…

We study the algorithmic problem of multiplying large matrices that are rectangular. We prove that the method that has been used to construct the fastest algorithms for rectangular matrix multiplication cannot give algorithms with…

We determine the border subrank of higher order structure tensors of several families of algebras, and in particular obtain the following results. (1) We determine tight bounds on the border subrank of $k$-fold matrix multiplication and…

We present three families of minimal border rank tensors: they come from highest weight vectors, smoothable algebras, or monomial algebras. We analyse them using Strassen's laser method and obtain an upper bound $2.431$ on $\omega$. We also…
