Title: Tensor ranks and their applications

Abstract: Tensors are high-order analogs of matrices. There are several notions of "tensor rank" that extend the standard notion of matrix rank to tensors. In this talk I will describe these notions, with a focus on tensors that are formed as high tensor powers of base tensors. I will also describe some applications of tensor ranks of tensor powers, both in combinatorics and in computer science.
