The rank of $3\times 3$ matrix multiplication over $\mathbb{F}_2$ is 23

The rank of the tensor of $3\times 3$ matrix multiplication over the field with two elements is at most $23$ by Laderman's algorithm, and Rudich and Rousseau recently proved that it is at least $22$. We prove that it equals $23$. Hence Laderman's algorithm uses the fewest multiplications among all b
