A slice decomposition is an expression of a homogeneous polynomial as a sum of forms with a linear factor. A strength decomposition is an expression of a homogeneous polynomial as a sum of reducible forms. The slice rank and the strength of a polynomial are the minimal lengths of such decompositions, respectively. The slice rank is an upper bound for the strength and we observe that the gap between these two values can be arbitrary large. However, in line with a conjecture by Catalisano et al…
