Let $M_n$ be an $n\times n$ matrix with independent uniform sign entries. We prove that there exist absolute constants $C,c>0$ such that, for all sufficiently large $n$, \[ \mathbb{P}\!\left( \left|\operatorname{Per}(M_n)\right| \ge e^{-Cn}\sqrt{n!} \right) \ge 1-n^{-c}. \] This establishes the exponential scale lower bound suggested by Tao and Vu. The proof bounds the cumulative logarithmic loss of the sum of squared permanents of minors under row exposure.
We prove an improved restricted isometry bound for Gaussian partial circulant matrices with arbitrary prescribed sampling sets. There is a universal constant $C>0$ such that the following holds. Let $1\leq K\leq m\leq N$ be positive integers, let $\Omega\subset\mathbb Z_N$ be any fixed set with $|\Omega|=m$, and let $g...
Let $A=(a_{ij})$ be an $n\times n$ real-valued random matrix with independent, mean-zero, variance-one entries whose fourth moments are uniformly at most $K$. Suppose that there exists $\kappa \in (0, 1)$ such that the entries of $A$ satisfy $$ \max_{i,j}\sup_{u \in \mathbb{R}} \mathbb{P}(\lvert a_{ij} - u\rvert<1) \le...
Let $q$ be an odd prime power, and let $A_n=(a_{ij})\in\mathbb F_q^{n\times n}$ be a random matrix whose entries are independent and uniformly distributed on $\mathbb F_q$. The permanent of $A_n$ is defined by $\operatorname{per}(A_n)=\sum_{\sigma\in S_n}\prod_{i=1}^n a_{i,\sigma(i)}$, where $S_n$ denotes the symmetric...
Consider $n$ independent, non-negative, mean at most one random variables, $X_1,X_2,\ldots$. We show the following bound on the probability of their sum exceeding a threshold $t$: \[ \mathbb{P}\left[\sum_{i=1}^n X_i\ge t\right] \leq 1-\left(1-\frac{1}{t}\right)^n \text{ for all } t\ge 2n+1 \,. \] To prove this, we cons...
For the $n\times n$ lower-triangular all-ones matrix $Q$, we prove a near-optimal lower bound \[ \gamma_{2,1}(Q) := \inf_{Q=AB} \|A\|_{2\to\infty}\|B\|_{1\to1} = \Omega\!\left( \frac{\log^{3/2}n}{(\log\log n)^{3/2}} \right), \] where the infimum ranges over real factorizations of arbitrary finite inner dimension. This...

We settle the real half of a conjecture of Bandeira, Kennedy and Singer on the dimension dependence of the Gaussian constant governing the little Grothendieck problem over the orthogonal group. For an $N\times N$ standard real Gaussian matrix $G_N$, the average singular value $\alpha_{\mathbb R}(N)=N^{-3/2}\,\mathbb E\...
