Let \(U\) be an \(n\)-dimensional vector space over an algebraically closed field \(F\). Let \(U^{(m)}\) denote the \(m\)th symmetric power of \(U\). For each positive integer \(k\leq \min\{m,n\}\), let \(D_k\) denote the set of all nonzero decomposable elements \(x_1\cdots x_m\) in \(U^{(m)}\) such that \(\dim\langle x_1,\dots,x_m\rangle= k\) and \(E_k\) denote the set of all decomposable elements \(x_1\cdots x_m\) in \(U^{(m)}\) such that \(\dim\langle x_1,\dots, x_m\rangle\leq k\). The author first shows that \(E_k\) is an algebraic variety with \(D_k\) as a dense subset and determines the dimension of \(E_k\). Next, he uses these results to study the structure of linear mappings \(T\) on \(U^{(m)}\) such that \(T(D_k)\subseteq D_k\) or \(T(E_k)\subseteq E_k\) for some fixed \(k\). After the introductory sections 1. Introduction and 2. Algebraic varieties of decomposable symmetric tensors, the main theorems are in section 3. Preservers of decomposable symmetric tensors.
