When is a degree-$n$ homogeneous polynomial in $\mathbb{C}[x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_m ]$ the product of $n$ one-forms?
Is there any simple algorithm or criterion to check it?
I have chosen the complex field to avoid any field insufficiency.

2$\begingroup$ Does this answer your question? which homogeneous polynomials split into linear factors? $\endgroup$– Gjergji ZaimiCommented May 9 at 6:39

1$\begingroup$ @GjergjiZaimi Not obvious to me that it does. The current question is specifically about sub-question 4. of that question, and it looks like that sub-question was left unanswered. $\endgroup$– R.P.Commented May 9 at 7:34

1$\begingroup$ This is set theoretically defined by Brill's equations for the Chow variety, although the ideal they generate is not in general radical. $\endgroup$– Dave BensonCommented May 9 at 12:21

$\begingroup$ @R.P.: Q4 is rather moot. As far as I know, the simplest criterion is the answer to Q3, i.e., to just plug the coefficients of the polynomial of interest into the Brill-Gordan equations and see if one gets zero or not. $\endgroup$– Abdelmalek AbdesselamCommented May 9 at 19:37
