Title: Ranks of projective varietiesEND:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
Abstract:Tensor ranks have recently attracted a lot of attention\, because of their natural appearance in several applied contexts. However\, the notion of rank may be generalized to any projective variety. I will talk about how ranks with respect to such a variety can be studied in terms of some classical objects in algebraic geometry such as secants.
