Fix reals $a,b\in(1,2)$ satisfying $1<b<a<ab<2$. What fraction of $0/1$ matrices of dimensions $n\times n$ have permanents in $[b2^m,a2^m]$ at some $m\in\{0,1,2,\dots,\lfloor\log_2n!\...

Obtain $M\in\{-1,+1\}^{n\times n}$ by unbiased coin flipping. What is known about the distribution of permanent $\mathsf{Perm}(M)$? It seems to be bimodal. Given a function $g(n)$ what is the ...

We know that the order of $SL_n({\mathbb F}_p)$ is $$p^{n(n-1)/2}(p^n-1)(p^{n-1}-1)\cdots(p^2-1).$$ Dividing by $p^{n^2}$, we deduce the probability that $\det$ takes the value $1$ over $M_n({\mathbb ...
