Abstract: We study the orbits of vector spaces of skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 2r and type (N+1)x(N+1) under the natural action of SL(N+1), over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We give a complete description of the orbits for vector spaces of dimension 2, relating them to some 1-generic matrices of linear forms. We also show that, for each rank two vector bundle on P^2 defining a triple Veronese embedding of P^2 in G(1,7), there exists a vector space of 8 x 8 skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 6 whose kernel bundle is the dual of the given rank two vector bundle.


The authors study the orbits of vector spaces of skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank \(2r\) and type \((N+1)\times (N+1)\) under the natural action of \(SL(N+1)\), over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. They give a complete description of the orbits for vector spaces of dimension 2, relating them to some 1-generic matrices of linear forms. They show that, for each rank two vector bundle on \(\mathbb P^2\) defining a triple Veronese embedding of \(\mathbb P^2\) in \(\mathbb G(1,7)\), there exists a vector space of \(8\times 8\) skew-symmetric matrices of constant rank 6 whose kernel bundle is the dual of the given rank two vector bundle.
