SUMMARY:Postdoc Lunch Time Talks
DESCRIPTION:Title: Waring and tensor ranks
Abstract: The problem of expressing a homogeneous polynomial as a sum of powers of linear forms is very classical and
goes back to the work of Sylvester\, Hilbert\, Scorza and many others. The rank of a homogeneous polynomial is
the smallest number of linear forms such that the polynomial admits such a representation. The tensor rank
is the analogous notion for tensors. In this talk\, we will introduce these notions
through examples and describe directions of current research.
