Nontriviality of equations and explicit tensors in CmCmCm of border rank at least 2m2 Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • 2014 Elsevier B.V. For even (resp. odd) m, I show the Young-flattening equations for border rank of tensors in CmCmCm of [7] are nontrivial up to border rank 2m-3 (resp. 2m-5) by writing down explicit tensors on which the equations do not vanish. Thus these tensors have border rank at least 2m-2 (resp. 2m-4). The result implies that there are nontrivial equations for border rank 2n2-n that vanish on the matrix multiplication tensor for nn matrices. I also study the border rank of the tensors of [1] and the equations of [4]. I show the tensors T2kCkC2kC2k of [1], despite having rank equal to 2k+1-1, have border rank equal to 2k. I show the equations for border rank of [4] are trivial in the case of border rank 2m-1 and determine their precise non-vanishing on the matrix multiplication tensor.
