Let \(V\) be a smooth, equidimensional, quasi-affine variety of dimension \(r\) over \(\mathbb {C}\) , and let \(F\) be a \((p\times s)\) matrix of coordinate functions of \(\mathbb {C}[V]\) , where \(s\ge p+r\) . The pair \((V,F)\) determines a vector bundle \(E\) of rank \(s-p\) over \(W:=\{x\in V \mid \mathrm{rk }F(x)=p\}\) . We associate with \((V,F)\) a descending chain of degeneracy loci of \(E\) (the generic polar varieties of \(V\) represent a typical example of this situation). The maximal degree of these degeneracy loci constitutes the essential ingredient for the uniform, bounded-error probabilistic pseudo-polynomial-time algorithm that we will design and that solves a series of computational elimination problems that can be formulated in this framework. We describe applications to polynomial equation solving over the reals and to the computation of a generic fiber of a dominant endomorphism of an affine space.
