Abstract: Let M be a (2imesn) non-generic matrix of linear forms in a polynomial ring. For large classes of such matrices, we compute the cohomological dimension (cd) and the arithmetical rank (ara) of the ideal I2(M) generated by the 2-minors of M. Over an algebraically closed field, any (2imesn)-matrix of linear forms can be written in the Kronecker-Weierstrass normal form, as a concatenation of scroll, Jordan and nilpotent blocks. Bu{a}descu and Valla computed mathrmara(I2(M)) when M is a concatenation of scroll blocks. In this case we compute mathrmcd(I2(M)) and extend these results to concatenations of Jordan blocks. Eventually we compute mathrmara(I2(M)) and mathrmcd(I2(M)) in an interesting mixed case, when M contains both Jordan and scroll blocks. In all cases we show that mathrmara(I2(M)) is less than the arithmetical rank of the determinantal ideal of a generic matrix.
