Abstract: We consider the affine variety mathcalZ2,2m,n (or just "Y") of first order jets over mathcalZ2m,n (or just "X"), where X is the classical determinantal variety given by the vanishing of all 2imes2 minors of a generic mimesn matrix. When 2<mlen, this jet scheme Y has two irreducible components: a trivial component, isomorphic to an affine space, and a nontrivial component that is the closure of the jets supported over the smooth locus of X. This second component is referred to as the principal component of Y; it is, in fact, a cone and can also be regarded as a projective subvariety of mathbfP2mn1. We prove that the degree of the principal component of Y is the square of the degree of X and more generally, the Hilbert series of the principal component of Y is the square of the Hilbert series of X. As an application, we compute the a-invariant of the principal component of Y and show that the principal component of Y is Gorenstein if and only if m=n.
