Real Rank Two Geometry
Published 29 Sep 2016 in math.AG, cs.CG, and math.OC | (1609.09245v3)
Abstract: The real rank two locus of an algebraic variety is the closure of the union of all secant lines spanned by real points. We seek a semi-algebraic description of this set. Its algebraic boundary consists of the tangential variety and the edge variety. Our study of Segre and Veronese varieties yields a characterization of tensors of real rank two.
