Jensen-like inequality for random matrix: $\Bbb E[\det X^2]\ge\det\Bbb E[X^2]$
Let $X\in M_n(\Bbb R)$ be a random matrix with iid elements following a continuous distribution.
What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for $$\Bbb E[\det X^2]\ge\det\Bbb E[X^2]$$ to hold? Is ...

Probability of a large random integer Matrix to have zero determinant
Suppose we have a matrix $A \in \{0,1\}^{n \times n}$ where
$$A_{ij} = \begin{cases} 1 & \text{with probability} \quad p\\ 0 &\text{with probability} \quad 1-p\end{cases}$$
I would like to ...
