Tensors in Computer Science and Geometry
Organizers:
Recent years have seen a dramatic rise of interest in the mathematics of higher-order tensors and their applications. It is well known that the notion of tensor rank is of great relevance for computer science through the famous, but still unsolved, problem of the complexity of matrix multiplication. Moreover, many combinatorial and optimization problems may also be naturally formulated as tensor problems. Analyzing the notion of tensor rank leads to the study of secant varieties of classical algebraic varieties (e.g., Segre and Veronese), which has seen considerable progress recently. In addition to issues of interest to theoretical computer scientists, there are now a wide range of applications of tensor methods, including signal processing, quantum information theory, machine learning, algebraic statistics, and others. A deeper understanding of the geometry of tensors is likely to bear fruit that should lead to further progress in these applications. The workshop will focus on the latest algorithmic, complexity, and mathematical results in multilinear algebra, with a view towards questions of relevance in computer science.
