Can we recover all $k$-minors of a square matrix from some of them?

It depends how you frame the question, but the answer is yes in some sense. Let $A$ be the $n \times n$ generic matrix with linear entries in $\mathbb{k}[x_1, \ldots, x_{n^2}]$. I denote by $I_m$ the ...

What is the relationship between determinantal varieties?

Set $M_k:=V(I_k) \subset \operatorname{Mat}(m \times n) \simeq \mathbb{A}^{mn}$. (1) If $k < \min\{m, \, n\}$ then $M_{k-1}$ is precisely the singular locus of $M_k$. See E. Arbarello, M. Cornalba,...

"Classical" proof that maximal minors form a Grobner basis under diagonal term order

Here are a few articles that might be relevant: Narasimhan, The irreducibility of ladder determinantal varieties, from 1986. It takes about 20 pages to prove the result (that the minors are a standard ...

Can we recover all $k$-minors of a square matrix from some of them?

Here is another point of view on the question. Assume that you are interested in $k$-minors, what you're going to do is focus on submatrices of $A$ of size $k\times n$ by eliminating $n-k$ rows. Such ...
