A proof of the set-theoretic version of the salmon conjecture
arXiv:1104.1776
Abstract
We show that the irreducible variety of 4 x 4 x 4 complex valued tensors of border rank at most 4 is the zero set of polynomial equations of degree 5 (the Strassen commutative conditions), of degree 6 (the Landsberg-Manivel polynomials), and of degree 9 (the symmetrization conditions).
