Title: Decomposing Tensors into Frames

I will discuss a new connection between Frame Theory (part of Functional Analysis) and Multi-Linear Algebra (Tensors). Live stream here

A symmetric tensor of small rank decomposes into a configuration of only few vectors. We study the variety of tensors for which this configuration is a unit norm tight frame.

This is joint work with E. Robeva and B. Sturmfels.  http://arxiv.org/abs/1504.08049
