Vanishing linear combinations of minors
Let $V$ be the set of $k$ by $n$ matrices ($k<n$) with entries in $\mathbb{C}$, and let $\mathbb{C}[V]$ denote the set of polynomial functions on $V$. For any subset $I \subseteq [n] = \{1,2,\dotsc,...

Minimal set generators ideal submaximal minors
Let $I$ an ideal of $\mathbb{C}[X_1, \ldots X_n]$ and define the arithmetical rank of $I$ as:
$$ ark(I) = \textrm{min} \left\{m \in \mathbb{N}, \exists f_1, \ldots, f_m \in \mathbb{C}[X_1, \ldots X_n]...

the pfaffian-adjugate and its counterparts for matrices odd size
Let $R$ be a commutative ring (zero characteristic). Take a skew-symmetric matrix $A\in Mat^{skew-sym}(n,R)$.
If $n$ is even, then $\det(A)=Pf^2(A)$ and there exists the "Pfaffian adjugate/adjoint" ...

A very specific quotient of a determinantal variety
I'm interesting in knowing whether a certain variety defined by maximal minors is irreducible. The specific construction is as follows: let $n \geq 2$ and let $R = \mathbb{C}[a_1,b_1,c_1,d_1,e_1,f_1,...
