    Kalman varieties are defined as varieties which parametrize all tensors of a given shape, having a singular t-uple of vectors \((x_1,\dots,x_t)\) in which \(x_1\) parametrizes a point lying in a fixed linear subspace. The authors generalize the notion by requiring that for all \(i=1,\dots,t\) the entry \(x_i\) of the singular t-uple parametrizes a point sitting in a fixed projective subvariety \(Z_i\). The authors determine some invariants of generalized Kalman varieties of symmetric tensors. They prove that when each \(Z_i\) is irreducible and not contained in the isotropic quadric, then the corresponding generalized Kalman variety is connected of codimension \(\sum_{i=1}^t \delta_i\), where \(\delta_i\) is the codimension of \(Z_i\). The authors also determine a formula for the degree of generalized Kalman varieties, which depend on the degrees of the \(Z_i\)'s. The coefficients in the formula are defined implicitly. The authors study their asymptotic behavior, in some numerical case. When the codimensions \(\delta_i\)'s are \(0\) for all \(i>1\), then the authors provide generating functions for the coefficients in the formula of the degree.
