If you do not have meeting details, please contact karan.khathuria@math.uzh.ch **) <BR> <BR> The concept of tensor products is ubiquitous in the scientific literature. In this talk, we restrict our attention to the tensor product of a finite number of finite-dimensional vector spaces. The bulk of the research on such tensor products assumes the underlying field to be the real numbers or the complex numbers. <br> With the advancement of our knowledge and technology, the need for efficient algorithms to verify certain properties or compute numerical data from a given tensor has become a very popular research topic. In the first part of this talk, we will give a short introduction explaining the main concepts and research problems.<br> In the second part, we will focus on the case where the underlying field is finite.
