Beyond Waring: Uncovering the Fine Structure of Symmetric Tensors

By Enrica Barrilli (Inria) Classical tensor decomposition—Waring’s model—seeks to express a symmetric tensor as a minimal sum of pure powers of linear forms. While elegant and foundational, this model is also inherently limited. In both geometry and applications, many tensors exhibit a far richer internal structure: multiplicities, tangent directions, and…
