Abstract

We study the cohomology of the generic determinantal varieties \( M_{m,n}^s = \{ \varphi \in \mathbb C^{m\times n} : \mathrm{rank} \varphi <s \} \), their polar multiplicities, their sections \( Dk∩Msm,n \) by generic hyperplanes \( Dk \) of various dimension \(k\), and the real and complex links of the spaces \( (Dk∩Msm,n,0) \). Such complex links were shown to provide the basic building blocks in a bouquet decomposition for the (determinantal) smoothings of smoothable isolated determinantal singularities. The detailed vanishing topology of such singularities was still not fully understood beyond isolated complete intersections and a few further special cases. Our results now allow to compute all distinct Betti numbers of any determinantal smoothing.
