On Linear spaces of of matrices bounded rank

Hang Huang, J. M. Landsberg

Motivated by questions in theoretical computer science and quantum information theory, we study the classical problem of determining linear spaces of matrices of bounded rank. Spac…

Equivariant spaces of matrices of constant rank

J. M. Landsberg, L. Manivel

We use representation theory to construct spaces of matrices of constant rank. These spaces are parametrized by the natural representation of the general linear group or the symple…

The method of shifted partial derivatives cannot separate the permanent from the determinant

Klim Efremenko, J. M. Landsberg, Hal Schenck +1

The method of shifted partial derivatives was used to prove a super-polynomial lower bound on the size of depth four circuits needed to compute the permanent. We show that this met…

An explicit description of the irreducible components of the set of matrix pencils with bounded normal rank

Fernando De Terán, Froilán M. Dopico, J. M. Landsberg

The set of mxn singular matrix pencils with normal rank at most r is an algebraic set with r+1 irreducible components. These components are the closure of the orbits (under strict…

Equations for secant varieties of Veronese and other varieties

J. M. Landsberg, Giorgio Ottaviani

New classes of modules of equations for secant varieties of Veronese varieties are defined using representation theory and geometry. Some old modules of equations (catalecticant mi…

On the third secant variety

Jarosław Buczyński, J. M. Landsberg

We determine normal forms and ranks of tensors of border rank at most three. We present a differential-geometric analysis of limits of secant planes in a more general context. In p…

Determinantal equations for secant varieties and the Eisenbud-Koh-Stillman conjecture

Jarosław Buczyński, Adam Ginensky, J. M. Landsberg

We address special cases of a question of Eisenbud on the ideals of secant varieties of Veronese re-embeddings of arbitrary varieties. Eisenbud's question generalizes a conjecture…

Ranks of tensors and a generalization of secant varieties

Jarosław Buczyński, J. M. Landsberg

We introduce subspace rank as a tool for studying ranks of tensors and X-rank more generally. We derive a new upper bound for the rank of a tensor and determine the ranks of partia…
