We introduce certain quiver analogue of the determinantal variety. We study the Kempf-Lascoux-Weyman complex associated to a line bundle on the variety. In the case of generalized Kronecker quivers, we give a sufficient condition on when the complex resolves a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module supported on the quiver determinantal variety. This allows us to find the set-theoretical defining equations of these varieties. When the variety has codimension one, the only irreducible polynomial function is a relative tensor invariant. As a by-product, we find some vanishing condition for the Kronecker coefficients. In the end, we make a generalization from the quiver setting to the tensor setting. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc.
