We give some new canonical representations for forms over $\cc$. For example, a general binary quartic form can be written as the square of a quadratic form plus the fourth power of a linear form. A general cubic form in $(x_1,...,x_n)$ can…

Given a nonnegative matrix M with rational entries, we consider two quantities: the usual positive semidefinite (psd) rank, where the matrix is factored through the cone of real symmetric psd matrices, and the rational-restricted psd rank,…

The tensor rank decomposition problem consists of recovering the unique set of parameters representing a robustly identifiable low-rank tensor when the coordinate representation of the tensor is presented as input. A condition number for…

Let $k$ be a field of odd characteristic $p$. Fix an even number $d<p+1$ and a power $q\geq d+3$ of $p$. For most choices of degree $d$ standard graded hypersurfaces $R=k[x,y,z]/(f)$ with homogeneous maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$, we can…

We show that if $K$ is a monogenic, primitive, totally real number field, that contains units of every signature, then there exists a lower bound for the rank of integer universal quadratic forms defined over $K$. In particular, we extend…

If an integer $n$ is written as a sum of two biquadrates in two different ways, then the elliptic curve $y^2=x^3-nx$ has rank $\geq 3$. If moreover $n$ is odd and the parity conjecture is true, then it has even rank $\geq 4$. Finally, some…

Let $\mathsf{r}_k$ be the unique positive root of $x^k - (x+1)^{k-1} = 0$. We prove the best known bounds on the number $n_{g,d}$ of $d$-dimensional generalized numerical semigroups, in particular that \[n_{g,d} > C_d^{g^{(d-1)/d}}…

In this paper we consider the Waring rank of monomials over the real and the rational numbers. We give a new upper bound for it by establishing a way in which one can take a structured apolar set for any given monomial…

We introduce a concept of the bounded rank (with respect to a positive constant) for unital C*-algebras as a modification of the usual real rank and present a series of conditions insuring that bounded and real ranks coincide. These…

Given a relational structure M on n elements, let D(M) be the minimum quantifier rank of a first order formula identifying M up to isomorphism in the class of n-element structures. The obvious upper bound is D(M)\le n. We show that if the…

We present a novel conjecture concerning the additive representation of natural numbers using prime powers. Based on extensive computational verification, we conjecture that every integer n > 23 can be expressed as a sum of at most five…

For fixed degree and increasing number of variables the dimension of the vector space of $n$-variate real symmetric homogeneous polynomials (forms) of degree $d$ stabilizes. We study the limits of the cones of symmetric nonnegative…

Let $G(k)$ denote the least number $s$ such that every sufficiently large natural number is the sum of at most $s$ positive integral $k$th powers. We show that $G(7)\le 31$, $G(8)\le 39$, $G(9)\le 47$, $G(10)\le 55$, $G(11)\le 63$,…

Schenck and Seceleanu proved that if $R = k[x,y,z]$, where $k$ is an infinite field, and $I$ is an ideal generated by any collection of powers of linear forms, then multiplication by a general linear form $L$ induces a homomorphism of…

In this paper, we extend previous work, where a notion of rank, called mu-rank, was proposed for noncommutative quadratic forms on two and three generators. In particular, we provide a definition of mu-rank one and two for noncommutative…

We prove that general unions of singularity schemes of multiplicity two in the projective plane have maximal rank.

We construct new subvarieties in the varieties of power sums for certain quartic hypersurfaces. This provides a generalization of Mukai's description of smooth prime Fano threefolds of genus twelve as the varieties of power sums for plane…

We introduce a new tool to study the spectral type of rank one transformations using the method of central limit theorem for trigonometric sums. We get some new applications.

In this paper, we consider sums of four generalized polygonal numbers whose parameters are restricted to integers with a bounded number of prime divisors. With some restriction on m modulo 30, we show that for n sufficiently large, it can…

We prove an explicit upper bound on the number of real quadratic fields that admit a universal quadratic form of a given rank, thus establishing a density zero statement. More generally, we obtain such a result for totally positive definite…
