“…There is a considerable body of work devoted to giving lower and upper bounds for such dimensions, both in the case of bounded and constant rank, but these bounds are rarely sharp; see, among many other references, [15,20,38,42] and the more recent works on skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank [4,25].…”

Abstract. The problem of expressing a specific polynomial as the determinant of a square matrix of affine-linear forms arises from algebraic geometry, optimization, complexity theory, and scientific computing. Motivated by recent developments in this last area, we introduce the notion of a uniform determinantal representation, not of a single polynomial but rather of all polynomials in a given number of variables and of a given maximal degree. We derive a lower bound on the size of the matrix, and present a construction achieving that lower bound up to a constant factor as the number of variables is fixed and the degree grows. This construction marks an improvement upon a recent construction due to Plestenjak and Hochstenbach, and we investigate the performance of new representations in their root-finding technique for bivariate systems. Furthermore, we relate uniform determinantal representations to vector spaces of singular matrices, and we conclude with a number of future research directions.

“…So the first interesting case to analyze is that of linear systems of 6 × 6 skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 4. This situation has been studied in [MM05]. The result is the following classification:…”

ABSTRACT. Corrado Segre played a leading role in the foundation of line geometry. We survey some recent results on degeneracy loci of morphisms of vector bundles where he still is of profound inspiration. GRASSMANNIANS OF LINES: LINEAR SECTIONS AND FOCAL PROPERTIES1.1. Classical point of view: work of Corrado Segre on Grassmannians. The geometry of families of lines in the projective space, classically called " line geometry", has been one of the first objects of investigation of Corrado Segre, and a fil rouge of his research throughout his career. His graduation thesis was published in 1883, in two articles, in " Memorie dell'Accademia delle Scienze di Torino". In the first article [Seg83a], corresponding to the first two chapters of the thesis, Segre systematically studies the (hyper)quadrics, in the second one [Seg83b] he develops the geometry of the Klein quadric in P 5 , i.e. the Grassmannian G(1, 3) of lines in P 3 . He considers linear and quadratic sections of the Grassmannian, called linear and quadratic complexes when of dimension three, and linear and quadratic congruences when of dimension two, and moreover ruled surfaces. In particular he studies the notion of focal locus of a congruence, roughly speaking the set of points where two "infinitely near" lines of the family meet.We want to mention then a short article published by Corrado Segre in 1888 [Seg88], where he considers the line geometry in a projective space of any dimension n. Here Segre states a few basic facts on the focal points of a congruence of lines in P n , meaning now a family of dimension n − 1.

“…More precisely, the case c = 1 corresponds to the linear spaces contained in the Grassmannian of lines in P 3 , hence it is classical. The cases c = 2 and c = 3 have been treated in [12] and in [7] respectively. In particular in [12] there is a complete classification of the orbits of linear spaces of 6 × 6 skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 4, up to the natural action of the group SL 6 .…”

We consider the problem of determining all pairs (c1, c2) of Chern classes of rank 2 bundles that are cokernel of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms in 3 variables, having constant rank 2c1 and size 2c1 + 2. We completely solve the problem in the "stable" range, i.e. for pairs with c 2 1 − 4c2 < 0, proving that the additional condition c2 ≤ c 1 +1 2 is necessary and sufficient. For c 2 1 − 4c2 ≥ 0, we prove that there exist globally generated bundles, some even defining an embedding of P 2 in a Grassmannian, that cannot correspond to a matrix of the above type. This extends previous work on c1 ≤ 3.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 14J60, 15A30. Key words and phrases. Skew-symmetric matrices, constant rank, globally generated vector bundles.
