Symmetry preserving degenerations of the generic symmetric matrix

Commutative Algebra 2018-04-04 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

One considers certain degenerations of the generic symmetric matrix over a field kk of characteristic zero and the main structures related to the determinant ff of the matrix, such as the ideal generated by its partial derivatives, the polar map defined by these derivatives and its image V(f)V(f), the Hessian matrix, the ideal and the map given by the cofactors, and the dual variety of V(f)V(f).
