Abstract

Let OO be a discrete valuation ring and A:=O[Xm×n]/Im(X)A := O[X_{m \times n}]/I_{m}(X) the determinantal ring of maximal minors. We consider algebra maps λ ⁣:AO\lambda \colon A \to O, which is tantamount to choosing rank-deficient matrices aOm×na \in O^{m \times n}. Following Iyengar--Khare--Manning, we compute the congruence module and the Wiles defect of AA at λ\lambda, expressing them in terms of the (m1)(m - 1)-sized minors of aa.
