We introduce the_Brauer loop scheme_ E := {M in M_N(C) : M\cp M = 0}, where \cp is a certain degeneration of the ordinary matrix product. Its components of top dimension, floor(N^2/2), correspond to involutions \pi in S_N having one or no fixed points. In the case N even, this scheme contains the upper-upper scheme from [Knutson '04] as a union of (N/2)! of its components. One of those is a degeneration of the_commuting variety_ of pairs of commuting matrices. The_Brauer loop model_ is a quantum integrable stochastic process introduced in [de Gier--Nienhuis '04], and some of the entries of its Perron-Frobenius eigenvector were observed (conjecturally) to match the degrees of the components of the upper-upper scheme. We extend this, with proof, to_all_ the entries: they are the degrees of the components of the Brauer loop scheme. Our proof of this follows the program outlined in [Di Francesco--Zinn-Justin '04]. In that paper, the entries of the Perron-Frobenius eigenvector were generalized from numbers to polynomials, which allowed them to be calculated inductively using divided difference operators. We relate these polynomials to the multidegrees of the components of the Brauer loop scheme, defined using an evident torus action on E. In particular, we obtain a formula for the degree of the commuting variety, previously calculated up to 4x4 matrices.
