Abstract

A degeneracy locus is the set of points where a vector-bundle map has rank at most a given integer. Such a set is symmetric or skew-symmetric according as whether the vector-bundle map is symmetric or skew-symmetric. We prove a connectedness result, first conjectured by Fulton and Lazarsfeld, for skew-symmetric degeneracy loci and for symmetric degeneracy loci of even ranks.
