LetA∈gl(n, C) and letpbe a positive integer. The Hessenberg variety of degreepforAis the subvariety Hess(p, A) of the complete flag manifold consisting of those flagsS1⊂⋯⊂Sn−1in ℂnwhich satisfy the conditionASi⊂Si+p,for alli. We show that ifAhas distinct eigenvalues, then Hess(p, A) is smooth and connected. The odd Betti numbers of Hess(p, A) vanish, while the even Betti numbers are given by a natural generalization of the Eulerian numbers. In the case where the eigenvalues ofAhave distinct moduli, |λ1|<⋯<|λ1|, these results are applied to determine the dimension and topology of the submanifold of U(n) consisting of those unitary matricesPfor whichA0=P-1APis in Hessenberg form and for which the diagonal entries of the QR-iteration initialized atA0converge to a given permutation of λ1,λn.
