Compatibility of eigenconfigurations 

Abstract. The left eigenvectors and right eigenvectors of a square matrix are distinct, but they are compatible. The purpose of this talk is two-fold; the first is to extend the concepts of left eigenvectors and right eigenvectors of a matrix to tensors, and the second is to explore the compatibility of such concepts for a binary tensor. This is a preliminary report of the (still ongoing) project with Jarek Buczyński and Alex Woo.
