Title
Degenerations Of The Generic Square Matrix, The Polar Map And The Determinantal Structure
Abstract
One studies certain degenerations of the generic square matrix over a field k along with its main related structures, such as the determinant of the matrix, the ideal generated by its partial derivatives, the polar map defined by these derivatives, the Hessian matrix and the ideal of the submaximal minors of the matrix. The main tool comes from commutative algebra, with emphasis on ideal theory and syzygy theory. The structure of the polar map is completely identified and the main properties of the ideal of submaximal minors are determined. Cases where the degenerated determinant has non-vanishing Hessian determinant show that the former is a factor of the latter with the (Segre) expected multiplicity, a problem envisaged by Landsberg-Manivel-Ressayre by geometric means. Another byproduct is an affirmative answer to a question of F. Russo concerning the codimension in the polar image of the dual variety to a hypersurface.
