In previous work, we showed that (for each signature) there exists a universal homogeneous tensor space, which is unique up to isomorphism. Here we generalize that result: we show that each Zariski class of tensor spaces contains a weakly homogeneous space, which is unique up to isomorphism; here, we say that two tensor spaces are \"Zariski equivalent\" if they satisfy the same polynomial identities. Our work relies on the theory of $\\mathbf{GL}$-varieties developed by Bik, Draisma, Eggermont, and Snowden.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-07-27T00:32:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "polynomial representations", "tensor spaces contains", "universal homogeneous tensor space", "polynomial identities", "finite collection" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 20, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
