Scheme of pairs of matrices with vanishing commutator Authors Bartomeu Llopis Vidal Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya Abstract In this work we will study the scheme of n x n matrices with vanishing commutator,which is conjectured to be reduced, Cohen{Macaulay and normal. We will provethat it is regular in codimension 3 but not in codimension 4. We will also bringsimilar results for other schemes related to our original one. In a second part ofthe paper, we study the singularities of the scheme of pairs of commuting matricesfrom the study of the corresponding jet schemes and other singularity invariantssuch as the log-canonical threshold.Keywords: commuting variety, jetschemes, log-canonical threshold.
