Optimal lower bound on the least singular value of the shifted Ginibre ensemble

Summary

Using the superbosonization technique we derive optimal lower bounds on the least singular value of shifted Ginibre random matrices.

Abstract

We consider the least singular value of a large random matrix with real or complex i.i.d. Gaussian entries shifted by a constant $z\in\mathbb{C}$. We prove an optimal lower tail estimate on this singular value in the critical regime where $z$ is around the spectral edge thus improving the classical bound of [Sankar, Spielman, Teng, 2006] in the edge regime. Lacking Brézin-Hikami formulas in the real case, we rely on the superbosonization formula [Littelmann, Sommers, Zirnbauer, 2008].
