Polynomial Bounds for Birch's Theorem
Amichai Lampert, Andrew Snowden, Tamar Ziegler
Let be a number field and forms of odd degrees. In 1957, Birch proved that if is sufficiently large then the forms always have a nontr…
Slice rank and analytic rank for trilinear forms
Amichai Lampert
In this note, we present an elementary proof of the fact that the slice rank of a trilinear form over a finite field is bounded above by a linear expression in the analytic rank. T…
Slice rank and partition rank of the determinant
Amichai Lampert, Guy Moshkovitz
The Laplace expansion expresses the determinant as a sum of products. Do shorter expansions exist? In this paper we: - Fully determine the slice rank deco…
Strength is bounded linearly by Birch rank
Benjamin Baily, Amichai Lampert
Let be a homogeneous polynomial over a field. For many fields, including number fields and function fields, we prove that the strength of is bounded above by a constant mul…
Density of solutions for systems of forms
Amichai Lampert
Let be a field of characteristic zero over which every diagonal form in sufficiently many variables admits a nontrivial solution. For example, may be a totally imaginary nu…
Strength and partition rank under limits and field extensions
Arthur Bik, Jan Draisma, Amichai Lampert +1
The strength of a multivariate homogeneous polynomial is the minimal number of terms in an expression as a sum of products of lower-degree homogeneous polynomials. Partition rank i…
