Best known bounds on tensor rank of matrix multiplication of 3×3 matrices
Years ago I attended a conference where they taught us that matrix multiplication can be represented by a tensor. The rank of the tensor is important, because putting it into minimal rank form ...

Is $\max_{\|x\|_p=\|y\|_p=1} |\langle x, Ay\rangle|$ equivalent to $\max_{\|x\|_p=|} |\langle x, Ax\rangle|$ for symmetric $A$ & $p\geq 2$?
Let $A\in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$ be a symmetric matrix, and consider the $l_p$ norm ($p\geq 2$).
Can we prove that the following problems are equivalent:
$$\max_{\|x\|_p=\|y\|_p=1} \left| \langle x, ...

Tensor matricizations and their decompositions
Suppose we have a 4-index tensor $t_{ijkl}$ (all 4 dimensions are equal size). We can make a matrix out of it by taking first and last two indexes as new indexes: $t_{ijkl} \rightarrow M_{ij, kl}$. ...

Simple way to calculate the eigenvalues of a $2 \times 2 \times 2$ tensor
I am working with hypergraphs. The various matrices associated with hypergraphs are hypermatrix or tensors. I am interested in spectral aspects. In particular, I want to find all the eigenvalues ...

Generalization of Carleman coefficients to multivariable functions - Carleman tensor?
Recently I learned about a matrix called
Carleman matrix. It is a matrix used to represent function iteration with matrix multiplying.
Carleman linearization is a technique used to embed a finite

Rank-1 decomposability of symmetric tensors
My question is about rank-1 decomposability of symmetric tensors over the reals.
Let $v_1,\dots,v_n\in\mathbb{R}^d$ be vectors. Construct the object:
$$
V=\sum_{j=1}^n \underbrace{v_j\otimes v_j\...

Some kind of product of two 2d tensors to create a 3d tensor?
I recently need to apply the following concept of product of two 2d tensors to create a 3d tensor (tensors understood as generalized arrays):
given two 2d tensors $A_{m\times n}$ and $B_{n\times p}$, ...

Adjacency matrix/tensor operations for graph sequences?
Consider a graph $G=(V,E)$. Its adjacency matrix $A$ is defined by $A_{u,v} = 1$ if $(u,v)\in E$, $0$ otherwise.
Consider a vector $x$ that associates a value $x_v$ to each vertex of $G$. Consider the ...

tensor/hypermatrix analogues of $GL(n,\mathbb{C})$?
Please excuse me if this question turns out to be incredibly silly for one reason or another.
Are there tensor/hypermatrix analogues of $GL(n,\mathbb{C})$ that are interesting? What I'm mainly ...

Rank of matrices and secant varieties
Consider the Segre embedding $\mathbb{P}^n\times \mathbb{P}^n\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^N$, and let $S\subset\mathbb{P}^N$ be its image.
Then $rank(Z)\leq k$ implies that $Z\in Sec_k(S)$. Moreover if $Z\...

Is the kernel $\vert d_X - d_Y \vert^p$ conditionally negative definite?
Given two finite metric spaces $(X,d_X)$ and $(Y,d_Y)$, for $p > 0$, define the kernel ($4$-D tensor) $K$ on $(X \times Y)^2$ by:
$$K\big( (x_i, y_k), (x_j, y_l) \big) = \vert d_X(x_i, x_j) - d_Y(...
