Multilinear algebra Chapter 2 This chapter approaches multilinear algebra from a geometric perspective. If X = (a i s) is a matrix, one is not so much interested in the collection of numbers that make up X, but what X represents and what qualitative information can be extracted from the entries of X. For this reason and others, in §2.3 an invariant definition of tensors is given and its utility is explained, especially in terms of groups acting on spaces of tensors. Before that, the chapter begins in §2.1 with a collection of exercises to review facts from linear algebra that will be important in what follows. For those readers needing a reminder of the basic definitions in linear algebra, they are given in an appendix §2.9. Basic definitions regarding group actions that will be needed throughout are stated in §2.2. In §2.4, rank and border rank of tensors are defined, Strassen’s algorithm is revisited, and basic results about rank are established. A more geometric perspective on the matrix multiplication operator in terms of contractions is given in §2.5. Among subspaces of spaces of tensors, the symmetric and skew-symmetric tensors discussed in §2.6 are distinguished, not only because they are the first subspaces one generally encounters, but all other natural subspaces may be built out of symmetrizations and skew-symmetrizations. As a warm up for the detailled discussions of polynomials that appear later in the book, polynomials on the space of matrices are discussed in §2.7. In §2.8, V ⊗3 is decomposed as a GL(V )-module, which serves as an introduction to Chapter 6. There are three appendices to this chapter. As mentioned above, in §2.9 basic definitions are recalled for the reader’s convenience. §2.10 reviews Jordan and rational canonical forms. Wiring diagrams, a useful pictorial tool for studying tensors are introduced in §2.11. 27

Chapter 2<br />
This chapter approaches multilinear algebra from a geometric perspective.<br />
If X = (a i s) is a matrix, one is not so much interested in the collection<br />
of numbers that make up X, but what X represents <strong>and</strong> what qualitative<br />
information can be extracted from the entries of X. For this reason <strong>and</strong><br />
others, in §2.3 an invariant definition of tensors is given <strong>and</strong> its utility is<br />
explained, especially in terms of groups acting on spaces of tensors. Before<br />
that, the chapter begins in §2.1 with a collection of exercises to review facts<br />
from linear algebra that will be important in what follows. For those readers<br />
needing a reminder of the basic definitions in linear algebra, they are given<br />
in an appendix §2.9. Basic definitions regarding group actions that will be<br />
needed throughout are stated in §2.2. In §2.4, rank <strong>and</strong> border rank of tensors<br />
are defined, Strassen’s algorithm is revisited, <strong>and</strong> basic results about<br />
rank are established. A more geometric perspective on the matrix multiplication<br />
operator in terms of contractions is given in §2.5. Among subspaces<br />
of spaces of tensors, the symmetric <strong>and</strong> skew-symmetric tensors discussed<br />
in §2.6 are distinguished, not only because they are the first subspaces one<br />
generally encounters, but all other natural subspaces may be built out of<br />
symmetrizations <strong>and</strong> skew-symmetrizations. As a warm up for the detailled<br />
discussions of polynomials that appear later in the book, polynomials on<br />
the space of matrices are discussed in §2.7. In §2.8, V ⊗3 is decomposed as<br />
a GL(V )-module, which serves as an introduction to Chapter 6.<br />
There are three appendices to this chapter. As mentioned above, in<br />
§2.9 basic definitions are recalled for the reader’s convenience. §2.10 reviews<br />
Jordan <strong>and</strong> rational canonical forms. Wiring diagrams, a useful pictorial<br />
tool for studying tensors are introduced in §2.11.<br />
