Title: Ranks of projective varieties

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.
