Quaternions as eigenvalues of rank 3 tensors

Let us consider a matrix $M^{(a)}$ of size $N \times N$, having $N$ eigenvalues $\lambda_i \in \mathbb{C}$. Considering a rank-3 tensor, we can informally think of it as a sequence of $N$ matrices $M^{...

Can the eigenvalues of a real symmetric tensor be complex?

Let $T$ be a fully symmetric tensor of rank $3$ and size $N$. Using the following definition of eigenvalues, let $x\in \mathbb{C}^N$ and $\lambda\in\mathbb{C}$ such that: \begin{equation} \sum_{jk}^...

Derivative of eigenpair with respect to matrix

Suppose that $A$ is real and symmetric matrix (or tensor) of dimension $3 \times 3$, with its spectral decomposition $$A = \sum_{i=1}^3 \lambda_i\ n_i\otimes n_i$$ where $\lambda_i$, $n_i$ and $\...

Spectral theorem for symmetric real tensors

Is there a definition of eigenvalues that allows to use a spectral theorem? Let $\mathbf{T}$ be a real fully symmetric tensor of order $3$ and size $N$. Its components can be represented as $T_{ijk}\...
