Secant v. Cactus

This workshop will focus on border apolarity and the issues that arise with it.  We plan to explore:

• the cactus variety
• border apolarity in theory (for toric varieties)
• basic deformation theory on zero dimensional schemes
• representation theory/Borel fixed subspaces
• implementation of border apolarity for tensors and polynomials
