 title: On manifolds of tensors of fixed TT-rank name: Rohwedder first name: Thorsten location/conference: SPP-JT10 PRESENTATION-link: http://www.dfg-spp1324.de/nuhagtools/event/dateien/SPP-JT10/talks/rohwedder_eisenach.pdf abstract: In this talk, we present some recent results on the TT format which has recently turned out to be a promising format for the representation and approximation of high dimensional tensors $U \in \R^{n_1\times \ldots\times n_d}$ [1-4]. As a first result, we prove that the TT (or compression) ranks $r_i$ of a tensor $U$ are unique and equal to the respective seperation ranks of $U$ if the components of the TT decomposition are required to fulfil a certain maximal rank condition. We then show that the set $\bbT$ of TT tensors of fixed rank $\underline{r}$ forms an embedded manifold in $\R^{n^d}$, therefore preserving the essential theoretical properties of the Tucker format, but often showing an improved scaling behaviour. Extending a similar approach for matrices [5], we introduce certain gauge conditions to obtain a unique representation of the tangent space $\cT_U\bbT$ of $\bbT$ and deduce a local parametrization of the TT manifold. The parametrisation of $\cT_{U}\bbT$ is often crucial for an algorithmic treatment of high-dimensional time-dependent PDEs and minimisation problems [6]. We conclude with some numerical examples.
