Consider an isospectral manifold formed by matrices M ∈ glr(ℂ)[x] with a fixed leading term. The description of such a manifold is well known in the case of a diagonal leading term with different eigenvalues. On the other hand, there are many important systems where this term has multiple eigenvalues. One approach is to impose conditions in the sub-leading term. The result is that the isospectral set is a smooth manifold, bi-holomorphic to a Zariski open subset of the generalized Jacobian of a singular curve.
