Abstract: We obtain the generic complete eigenstructures of complex Hermitian nimesn matrix pencils with rank at most r (with rleqn). To do this, we prove that the set of such pencils is the union of a finite number of bundle closures, where each bundle is the set of complex Hermitian nimesn pencils with the same complete eigenstructure (up to the specific values of the finite eigenvalues). We also obtain the explicit number of such bundles and their codimension. The cases r=n, corresponding to general Hermitian pencils, and r<n exhibit surprising differences, since for r<n the generic complete eigenstructures can contain only real eigenvalues, while for r=n they can contain real and non-real eigenvalues. Moreover, we will see that the sign characteristic of the real eigenvalues plays a relevant role for determining the generic eigenstructures of Hermitian pencils.
