We have decided to discontinue the publication of preprints on our preprint server as of 1 March 2024. The publication culture within mathematics has changed so much due to the rise of repositories such as ArXiV (www.arxiv.org) that we are encouraging all institute members to make their preprints available there. An institute's repository in its previous form is, therefore, unnecessary. The preprints published to date will remain available here, but we will not add any new preprints here.

Uniform matrix product states from an algebraic geometer's point of view
Adam Czapliński, Mateusz Michałek and Tim Seynnaeve
Abstract
We apply methods from algebraic geometry to study uniform matrix product states. Our main results concern the topology of the locus of tensors expressed as uMPS, their defining equations and identifiability. By an interplay of theorems from algebra, geometry and quantum physics we answer several questions and conjectures posed by Critch, Morton and Hackbusch.
