Conjecture on the only generically identifiable perfect tensor formats
Conjecture on the only generically identifiable perfect tensor formats
Let a tensor have format , and let
Call the format perfect when is an integer, and call a format generically identifiable when a general tensor of that format has a unique decomposition as a sum of decomposable tensors. The perfect-format identifiability conjecture. The only perfect formats for which a general tensor has a unique decomposition are for some , , and . The formats are the classically known matrix-pencil cases, identified by Kronecker normal form. The conjecture proposes a complete list of perfect generically identifiable formats, extending the two newly established cases beyond the classical matrix-pencil family; its resolution concerns the uniqueness of tensor decompositions in the balanced perfect-rank setting.
