I will talk about a new notion of rank for tensors called geometric rank, and discuss some of its basic properties, as well as its relationship with other well-studied notions of rank like subrank, slice rank and analytic rank. As an application, we will see a proof of tightness of an old bound of Strassen on the subrank of the matrix multiplication tensor.

Based on joint work with Guy Moshkovitz and Jeroen Zuiddam.
