Abstract

We will be considering an affine algebraic scheme X over a field k, which is determinantal, defined by the vanishing of the l × l minors of a matrix R. We will show that deforming the constant and linear terms of the entries in the matrix R gives an almost everywhere flat deformation of X, and that under certain simple conditions, and in particular if the dimension of X is sufficiently low, this deformation has generically nonsingular fibers.
