We prove lower bounds for the smallest singular value of rectangular, multivariate Vandermonde matrices with nodes on the complex unit circle. The nodes are ``off the grid'', groups of nodes cluster, and the studied minimal singular value…

We study the spectral norm of matrices M that can be factored as M=BA, where A is a random matrix with independent mean zero entries, and B is a fixed matrix. Under the (4+epsilon)-th moment assumption on the entries of A, we show that the…

We study the lower tail behavior of the least singular value of an $n\times n$ random matrix $M_n := M+N_n$, where $M$ is a fixed complex matrix with operator norm at most $\exp(n^{c})$ and $N_n$ is a random matrix, each of whose entries is…

Let $F_n$ be an $n$ by $n$ symmetric matrix whose entries are bounded by $n^{\gamma}$ for some $\gamma>0$. Consider a randomly perturbed matrix $M_n=F_n+X_n$, where $X_n$ is a random symmetric matrix whose upper diagonal entries $x_{ij}$…

We obtain a tail bound for the least non-zero singular value of $A-z$ when $A$ is a random matrix and $z$ is an eigenvalue of $A$ in a neighbourhood of a given point $z_0$ in the bulk of the spectrum. The argument relies on a resolvent…
