Expected determinant of a random NxN matrix

For some further results of this nature, see Exercise 5.64 of Enumerative Combinatorics, vol. 2. This exercise deals with the uniform distribution on (0,1)-matrices or $(-1,1)$-matrices, but the argum …

Expected value of determinant of simple infinite random matrix

Here is a solution to Hipstpaka's question about $\det(A)^2$. I don't have enough space to answer in a comment. I don't know where a statement appears in the literature, but the proof uses a standard …

Expected size of determinant of $AA^T$ for non-square random $A$

By the Cauchy-Binet theorem, $\det AA^T=\sum (\det B)^2$, where $B$ ranges over all $m\times m$ submatrices of $A$. The expected value of $(\det B)^2$ is $(m+1)!/4^m$, so the expected value of $\det A …
