Assume that the Riemann hypothesis holds for Dedekind zeta functions. Under this assumption, we prove that a degree $d$ polynomial with random multiplicative $\pm1$ coefficients is irreducible in $\mathbb{Z}[x]$ with probability…

We study algorithms for approximating the permanent of a random matrix when the entries are slightly biased away from zero. This question is motivated by the goal of understanding the classical complexity of linear optics and \emph{boson…

In this paper we investigate the permanent of $(-1,1)$-matrices over fields of zero characteristics and our main goal is to provide a sharp upper bound for the value of the permanent of such matrices depending on matrix rank, solving Wang's…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with iid entries where $A_{ij} \sim \mathrm{Ber}(p)$ is a Bernoulli random variable with parameter $p = d/n$. We show that the empirical measure of the eigenvalues converges, in probability, to a…

We show that under reasonable conditions, a random $n\times (2+\epsilon) n$ integer matrix is surjective on $\mathbb{Z}^{n}$ with probability $1-O(e^{-cn})$. We also conjecture that this should hold for $n\times (1+\epsilon)n$, and provide…

We investigate the probability that a random polynomial with independent, mean-zero and finite variance coefficients has no real zeros. Specifically, we consider a random polynomial of degree $2n$ with coefficients given by an i.i.d.…

We prove that the maximum determinant of an $n \times n $ matrix, with entries in $\{0,1\}$ and at most $n+k$ non-zero entries, is at most $2^{k/3}$, which is best possible when $k$ is a multiple of 3. This result solves a conjecture of…

Conditional on the extended Riemann hypothesis, we show that with high probability, the characteristic polynomial of a random symmetric $\{\pm 1\}$-matrix is irreducible. This addresses a question raised by Eberhard in recent work. The main…

Let $A$ be an $n\times n$ random matrix whose entries are i.i.d. with mean $0$ and variance $1$. We present a deterministic polynomial time algorithm which, with probability at least $1-2\exp(-\Omega(\epsilon n))$ in the choice of $A$,…

We prove a lower bound expansion on the probability that a random $\pm 1$ matrix is singular, and conjecture that such expansions govern the actual probability of singularity. These expansions are based on naming the most likely, second…

Fix a finite field $\mathbb F_q$ and let $A\in \mathbb F_q^{n\times n}$ be a uniformly random $n\times n$ matrix over $\mathbb F_q$. The asymptotic distribution of the determinant $\det(A)$ is well-understood, but the asymptotic…
