Let $X=(x_{ij})\in\mathbb{R}^{N\times n}$ be a rectangular random matrix with i.i.d. entries (we assume $N/n\to\mathbf{a}>1$), and denote by $\sigma_{min}(X)$ its smallest singular value. When entries have mean zero and unit second moment,…

Let $M_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ random matrix where each entry is +1 or -1 independently with probability 1/2. Our main result implies that the probability that $M_n$ is singular is at most $(1/\sqrt{2} + o(1))^n$, improving on the previous best…

Let $n,k\geq 1$ and let $G$ be the $n\times n$ random matrix with i.i.d. standard real Gaussian entries. We show that there are constants $c_k,C_k>0$ depending only on $k$ such that the smallest singular value of $G^k$ satisfies $$…

Let $1\le k\le n$ and $M$ be a random $n\times n$ matrix with independent uniformly random $\{\pm 1\}$-entries. We show that there exists an absolute constant $c > 0$ such that \[\mathbf{P}[\operatorname{rank}(M)\le n-k]\le \exp(-c nk).\]
