| contents | We present a family of flattening methods of tensors which we call Kronecker-Koszul flattenings, generalizing the famous Koszul flattenings and further equations of secant varieties studied among others by Landsberg, Manivel, Ottaviani and Strassen. We establish new border rank criteria given by vanishing of minors of Kronecker-Koszul flattenings. We obtain the first explicit polynomial equations -- tangency flattenings -- vanishing on secant varieties of Segre variety, but not vanishing on cactus varieties. Additionally, our polynomials have simple determinantal expressions. As another application, we provide a new, computer-free proof that the border rank of the $2\times2$ matrix multiplication tensor is $7$. |
