Strassen's algorithm via orbit flip graphs

Year: 2025
Type: preprint
Abstract: We give a short proof for Strassen's result that the rank of the 2 by 2 matrix multiplication tensor is at most 7. The proof requires no calculations and also no pattern matching or other type of nontrivial verification, and is based solely on properties of a specific order 6 group action. Our proof is based on the recent combination of flip graph algorithms and symmetries.
