Abstract: We study E-eigenvalues of a symmetric tensor $f$ of degree $d$ on a finite-dimensional Euclidean vector space $V$, and their relation with the E-characteristic polynomial of $f$. We show that the leading coefficient of the E-characteristic polynomial of $f$, when it has maximum degree, is the $(d-2)$-th power (respectively the $((d-2)/2)$-th power) when $d$ is odd (respectively when $d$ is even) of the $widetildeQ$-discriminant, where $widetildeQ$ is the $d$-th Veronese embedding of the isotropic quadric $QsubseteqmathbbP(V)$. This fact, together with a known formula for the constant term of the E-characteristic polynomial of $f$, leads to a closed formula for the product of the E-eigenvalues of $f$, which generalizes the fact that the determinant of a symmetric matrix is equal to the product of its eigenvalues.
