Subrank and optimal reduction of scalar multiplications to generic tensors

H Derksen, V Makam, J Zuiddam - Journal of the London …, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
The subrank of a tensor measures how much a tensor can be diagonalized. We determine
this parameter precisely for essentially all (ie, generic) tensors. Namely, we prove for generic …
