On the Frobenius complexity of determinantal rings

Abstract

We compute the Frobenius complexity for the determinantal ring of prime characteristic $p$ obtained by modding out the $2 \times 2$ minors of an $m \times n$ matrix of indeterminates, where $m > n \ge 2$. We also show that, as $p \to \infty$, the Frobenius complexity approaches $m-1$.
