Sum of tensor products as tensor products

52 Views Asked by At

We have vectors a, b, c, d of the same length over finite field. Take the sum of 2 square matrices obtained as tensor products of those vectors.

a × b + c × d

Question: do there exist 2 such vectors e and f so that their tensor product equals that matrix?

a × b + c × d = e × f

I know that this is not true generally in numbers. What about finite fields?
