Resultants of determinantal varieties

چکیده
In this paper, a new kind of resultant, called the determinantal resultant, is introduced. This operator computes the projection of a determinantal variety under suitable hypothesis. As a direct generalization of the resultant of a very ample vector bundle [GKZ94], it corresponds to a necessary and sufficient condition so that a given morphism between two vector bundles on a projective variety X has rank lower or equal to a given integer in at least one point. First some conditions are given for the existence of such a resultant and it is showed how to compute explicitly its degree. Then a result of A. Lascoux [Las78] is used to obtain it as a determinant of a certain complex. Finally some more detailed results in the particular case where X is a projective space are exposed.

Residues and Resultants
Resultants, Jacobians and residues are basic invariants of multivariate polynomial systems. We examine their interrelations in the context of toric geometry. The global residue in the torus, studied by Khovanskii, is the sum over local Grothendieck residues at the zeros of n Laurent polynomials in n variables. Cox introduced the related notion of the toric residue relative to n + 1 divisors on ...
متن کاملMixed Ladder Determinantal Varieties from Two-sided Ladders
We study the family of ideals defined by mixed size minors of two-sided ladders of indeterminates. We compute their Gröbner bases with respect to a skewdiagonal monomial order, then we use them to compute the height of the ideals. We show that these ideals correspond to a family of irreducible projective varieties, that we call mixed ladder determinantal varieties. We show that these varieties ...
متن کاملSymmetric Subresultants and Applications
Schur’s transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we show that they satisfy a structure theorem which allows us to compute them with a type of Euclidean division. As a consequence, a fast algorithm based on a dich...
متن کاملSingle-lifting Macaulay-type formulae of generalized unmixed sparse resultants
Resultants are defined in the sparse (or toric) context in order to exploit the structure of the polynomials as expressed by their Newton polytopes. Since determinantal formulae are not always possible, the most efficient general method for computing resultants is as the ratio of two determinants. This is made possible by Macaulay’s seminal result [15] in the dense homogeneous case, extended by...
متن کاملNice Initial Complexes of Some Classical Ideals
This is a survey article on Gorenstein initial complexes of extensively studied ideals in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry. These include defining ideals of Segre and Veronese varieties, toric deformations of flag varieties known as Hibi ideals, determinantal ideals of generic matrices of indeterminates, and ideals generated by Pfaffians of generic skew symmetric matrices. We give a s...
