These computations of ranks for binary forms are used to show that the combinatorics of a line arrangement in the complex projective plane does not determine the Waring rank of the defining equation even in very simple situations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-13T16:43:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "binary forms", "waring rank", "harmonic cross-ratio", "golden ratio", "multiple factors" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
