Fundamental Invariants of Tensors, Latin Hypercubes, and Rectangular Kronecker Coefficients

Abstract

Abstract We study polynomial SL-invariants of tensors, mainly focusing on fundamental invariants that are of smallest degrees. In particular, we prove that certain 3-dimensional analogue of the Alon–Tarsi conjecture on Latin cubes considered previously by Bürgisser and Ikenmeyer implies positivity of (generalized) Kronecker coefficients at rectangular partitions and as a result provides values for degree sequences of fundamental invariants.
