Varieties of simultaneous sums of power for binary forms

The problem of simultaneous decomposition of binary forms as sums of powers of linear forms is studied. For generic forms the minimal number of linear forms needed is found and the space parametrizing all the possible decompositions is described. More generally the variety parametrizing the 0-dimens...
