Abstract

We show that the product rank of the 3×3 determinant det3 is 5, and the product rank of the 3×3 permanent perm3 is 4. As a corollary, we obtain that the tensor rank of det3 is 5 and the tensor rank of perm3 is 4. We show moreover that the border product rank of permn is larger than n for any n ≥ 3.
