Some concerns on the border rank of Kronecker products of the Coppersmith-Winograd tensor
This note provides a detailed proof of Conner--Gesmundo--Landsberg--Ventura's result that the border rank of the Kronecker square of the little Coppersmith--Winograd tensor is $(q+2)^{2}$.We also indicate how the same ideas seem to extend to the case of the Kronecker cube, pointing toward the conjectural value $(q+2)^{m}$ for $m\ge 4$, although a full proof is left for future work.
