| contents | Multilinear varieties, defined as the sets of rational points of varieties cut out by multilinear functions, were first introduced and studied by Gowers and Milićević[Proc. Edinb. Math. Soc., 2021] for finite $\mathbb{K}$. In this paper, we investigate multilinear varieties over infinite fields from a geometric perspective. We establish two fundamental results: a codimension formula for the Zariski closure of a multilinear variety, and the existence of a high-dimensional irreducible subvariety passing through any given $\mathbb{K}$-rational point. These results serve as a geometric foundation for analyzing various ranks of tensors and homogeneous polynomials, including partition rank, analytic rank, geometric rank, (collective) strength and (collective) Birch rank. As applications, we resolve the Adiprasito-Kazhdan-Ziegler conjecture [arXiv:2102.03659, 2021] on the stability of partition rank for perfect infinite fields. We thereby settle the stability conjecture for collective strength [Selecta Math., 2024], as well as the conjecture on the linear equivalence between strength and Birch rank [arXiv:2410.00248, 2024] for such fields. Moreover, our results immediately yield a strengthening of the theorems of Bik-Draisma-Snowden [arXiv:2401.02067, 2024] and Lampert-Snowden [arXiv:2406.18498, 2024], for multilinear varieties over infinite fields. |
