Abstract: We prove a conjecture of Comon and Ottaviani that typical real Waring ranks of bivariate forms of degree d take all integer values between lfloorfracd+22floor and d. That is we show that for all d and all lfloorfracd+22floorleqmleqd there exists a bivariate form f such that f can be written as a linear combination of m d-th powers of real linear forms and no fewer, and additionally all forms in an open neighborhood of f also possess this property. Equivalently we show that for all d and any lfloorfracd+22floorleqmleqd there exists a symmetric real bivariate tensor t of order d such that t can be written as a linear combination of m symmetric real tensors of rank 1 and no fewer, and additionally all tensors in an open neighborhood of t also possess this property.
